Kachina Wetlands and the Arboretum both lie south of Flagstaff and offer gorgeous summer destinations featuring, at the wetlands, recharge ponds with waterfowl, an abundance of Western Bluebirds, a reliable Osprey or two, plus some regular piney species such as nuthatches, Steller’s Jays and Mountain Chickadees. Then, at the Arboretum, possible robins and a variety of warblers. Wildflowers at both are worth the trip. If past experience repeats, it will be a chilly start, but we’ll peel layers off later. Carpooling and other logistics to be decided a few days before the trip.
