Just got this message from Kevin Floyd of our local Audubon group:

What birds are near water bodies in El Paso?

Our Audubon group is assisting Frontera Land Alliance with a student intern from UTEP with bird surveys this summer, and we can use your help! The student is surveying three locations each week until mid-late July: the Rio Grande in the Upper Valley, the Playa Drain Trail near Ascarate Park, and the Riverside Canal near Rio Bosque. The surveys start at 7 am and typically last about 2 hours. The student is new to birding, so we are hoping that some Audubon members might be interested in helping out, either for one day or several!

For more information, please reply to elpasoaudubon@gmail.com. We can set up specific dates and locations from there. The surveys will only run for about 4 more weeks, so if you are interested please do not delay in replying!

Thanks for the time!

Kevin
