    Hundreds of migrating shorebirds stop over to rest and forage at the Sedona Wetlands Preserve before continuing their journey north.  Wintering waterfowl make these ponds their home to escape frozen lakes up north.  Furthermore, many resident birds are beginning to breed along the water’s edge.  Come learn how the Wetlands were developed and what birds are being seen at the Preserve.

    Dena Greenwood began her birding adventures 25 years ago as an Arizona State Park Ranger leading bird walks at local parks and developing bird lists for Slide Rock, Red Rock and Dead Horse Ranch State Parks.  She received her graduate degree in environmental biology with an emphasis in ornithology, botany and geology.  She conducted bird research for Colorado Plateau Research Station, National Park Service, and the U.S. Forest Service on the Verde, Colorado, and San Juan River corridors. She is a Northern Arizona Audubon Board member and a founding committee member of the Verde Valley Bird and Nature Festival.  Dena currently manages Jay’s Bird Barn in Sedona, http://www.jaysbirdbarn.com/.       

    Keep Sedona Beautiful welcomes the community and visitors alike to its monthly Preserving the Wonder™ Speaker Series, which takes place at its historic Pushmataha Center on 360 Brewer Road in Sedona.  The Speaker Series, now held the second Wednesday each month from September to June, begins at 5:30 pm with refreshments.  The series presents an interesting diversity of programs relevant to the unique environment of our region.  Keep Sedona Beautiful, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that, by acting through the stewardship of its members and volunteers, is committed to protecting and sustaining the unique scenic beauty and natural environment of the Greater Sedona Area.  For more information about Keep Sedona Beautiful, please call 928.282.4938, or visit http://www.keepsedonabeautiful.org/.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
