We kicked off the season with our Members Fall Picnic at Catalina State Park on Oct. 9. A park volunteer told our group of 36 the history of Catalina State Park after we enjoyed Subway sandwiches and cake. It was a lovely day, despite the clouds, as the temperature was a perfect 82 degrees. Don’t you love October?
The upcoming program list with details is on our website, but below is a quick overview. The October program was called “Birds and Birding in Southern Arizona,” by Jeff Babson, a favorite speaker for the Nature Club.
