OH HEY, PINYON JAY! Trivia Night
Wednesday, August 26 at Drinking Horn Meadery, Flagstaff AZ

You may know the Pinyon Jay as that blue-gray bird you sometimes see moving through the pinyon-juniper forests of Northern Arizona. But did you know these birds have declined by more than 80% over the past 50 years?

That’s a pretty big deal for a bird that plays an important role in our pinyon-juniper ecosystems.

That’s why we’re teaming up with Drinking Horn Meadery to put a little more attention on this often-overlooked bird. Their Oh Hey, Pinyon Jay! mead is back for a limited season—and it’s helping us start conversations about Pinyon Jays, their decline, and why protecting their habitat matters.

And because learning about birds should be fun, we’re celebrating with Oh Hey, Pinyon Jay Trivia Night on August 26!

Come have a mead, test your bird knowledge, and learn a little more about one of Northern Arizona’s most fascinating—and increasingly vulnerable—birds.

Oh hey, Pinyon Jay. We see you.

🦟 World Mosquito Day

Mosquitoes? Birds have them on the menu.

Some of Northern Arizona's best insect hunters have wings.

Swallows, flycatchers, nighthawks, and other insect-eating birds spend their days catching flying insects—including mosquitoes and their relatives.

So the next time you see a swallow swooping through the sky, remember: you might be watching one of nature's tiny pest-control experts at work.

This World Mosquito Day, thank a bird. 💚

It's World Photography Day 📸

Birds have a way of making us stop, look up, and notice the world around us.

For World Photography Day, we want to see your favorite Northern Arizona bird photos!

Maybe it’s a bird you waited hours to photograph. Maybe it’s a backyard visitor. Maybe it’s a bird you didn’t even know was there until you looked closely.

Share your favorite bird photo in the comments, tag us or email it to [email protected] and tell us where you spotted it. We'd love to feature it.

Carla shared with us this adorable Dark-eye Junco in her backyard in Flagstaff.

Ever wondered how scientists safely band and track hummingbirds? 🐦✨

Join licensed hummingbird ba**er Hilary Morejon for a rare opportunity to watch these incredible birds up close as they are carefully captured, measured, banded, and released. It's a fascinating glimpse into the research that helps us better understand hummingbird movements, survival, and conservation.

Now in its third year at Page Springs Fish Hatchery, Hilary's banding project is one of the longest-running hummingbird research efforts in the Verde Valley.

Upcoming Banding Dates
📅 August 22 | 6:25–11:25 a.m.
📅 September 5 | 6:35–11:35 a.m.

📍 Location
Page Springs Fish Hatchery
1600 N. Page Springs Rd., Cornville, AZ

Meet in the fish hatchery parking lot. At the end of the lot, follow the stairs down to the shaded banding site.

This event is free and open to everyone. Stop by for a few minutes or stay all morning—it's an unforgettable experience for bird lovers of all ages. Arrive early for the best chance to see hummingbirds being banded!

Sometimes you don't have to go far to find a great bird.

This Gambel's Quail stopped by a butterfly bush for a little rest—and we're not complaining about the view.

Native plants and wildlife-friendly gardens can provide food, shelter, and places for birds to rest as they move through our neighborhoods.

What birds are visiting your yard this summer?

NAAS Program meeting. Sept. 23. An Unlikely Ornithologist—a Change of Career at 40. Come meet Donna O’Daniel as she shares the fascinating story of how she returned to school at age 40 to change careers—and ultimately found herself immersed in the world of birds. Donna will highlight her work with birds using large maps of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, along with a large poster of Johnston Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. She’ll also share selected passages from her book, Reflections of a Redeemed Rebel: The Bird Lady’s Memoir. You’ll discover how working with birds can be exciting and deeply rewarding—but also highly dangerous at times too! Wed. Sept. 23, Community Library Sedona. 3250 White Bear Road, Sedona. 5:30 social time, 6:00 program begins.
