    Friends of the Verde RiverCottonwood AZ (March 7, 2021) – Friends of the Verde River is pleased to announce that the 21st Verde Valley Birding & Nature Festival will be held from April 22-25 and will offer virtual and in-person birding opportunities.  

    Early bird registration opens up March 5, with general registration opening on March 8. You can qualify for early bird registration with a donation of $50 to Friends of the Verde River. Early birds will have the first look and opportunity to register for new field trips and birding workshops. 

    Amidst the complications of COVID-19, Friends of the Verde River is committed to keeping the beloved Verde Valley Birding and Nature Festival (VVBNF) alive and thriving! This year, Friends will host the festival as a hybrid event, blending virtual experiences with size-limited in-person guided tours.

    In-Person Tours: VVBNF will offer 15-20 in-person tours in various locations around Arizona, including, for the first time, bird walks in the Phoenix area. Tour guides are all experienced, knowledgeable birders, all of whom have been guiding tours for years. Each in-person tour is limited to six to eight registrants. We expect tours to sell out quickly. To participate in field trips, participants will be required to drive themselves, bring their own equipment and optics, socially distance, and wear a mask at all times.

    Tours: Each two-hour field trip costs $40 and each three to four-hour field trip costs $60.

    Watching the latest debate from end to end once again it appears that the future of the GOP rests upon the shoulders of Vivek Ramasamy. Not sure exactly why but he simply outshines the pack. He has fresh energy and is light on his feet. He’s smart, confident and slick. He has snap. Crackle and Pop. He is young. A successful businessman and fearless. He is like a young Trump apprentice, full of vim and vigor and ready to rumble. Everyone else on the debate stage appeared dull, cranky or lifeless. Halley looked like she was suffering from a terminal case of constipation and badly needs a wardrobe manager. Christie looked like someone who bit into an apple, found a half-eaten worm, and decided to eat it anyway. DeSantis just keeps getting more and more boring; a somnambulist on Percocet. Scott looked like a misogynistic woman beater talking over Haley. Pence looked like an undertaker at his own funeral. Burgum, who? Read more→
