Window on Nature
Our live speaker program
We now offer our Window on Nature (WoN) programs at our new venue, the Natural History Institute on 126 N Marina Street, downtown Prescott. As ever, we are happy to offer this event free to our entire community!
All Window on Nature programs begin with a half-hour meet-and-greet at 6:30 PM. The talks begin at 7PM.
More on our upcoming program, below. Please note: we do take the summer off for more birding, so May's WoN program will be the last until autumn.
Come join us on May 20th!
Also, mark your calendars for our entire WoN program schedule!
Our May 20th Program:
Arizona's Important Bird Areas and Priority Species
By Jennie MacFarland
Arizona has a large variety of habitat types that make up its 48 Important Bird Areas. We'll discuss some of these areas and the charismatic bird species that call these IBA's home. We'll also discuss several of the survey projects that our volunteers help with and opportunities for any birder to help the cause.
Jennie is a nearly life-long Arizonan who loves exploring different habitats in Southeast Arizona. As Bird Conservation Biologist for Tucson Bird Alliance (formerly Tuscon Audubon), Jennie helps coordinate the Arizona Important Bird Areas Program and organizes several large-scale community science efforts in SE AZ each year including Elegant Trogon surveys of five Sky Island mountain ranges, Western Yellow-billed Cuckoo surveys, and the Desert Purple Martin Project.

Granite Creek Clean-Up
Sponsored by our partner organization, Prescott Creeks, this event is a long-running community-wide contribution to cleaner waters in Prescott. Audubon has had a clean-up team for the past few years. If you are interested in joining the PAS team, just email via the link below, [email protected] . Participants receive a free t-shirt and our watershed always looks so great after the clean-up. And while picking up trash you hear and sometimes see birds😊.
