Iron Bridge

Cliff, NM (map)

The Big Sit is a light-hearted birding competition started by the New Haven Bird Club that is now an international event.

The goal of the competition is to identify as many birds as we can within a 17-foot diameter circle, and the Iron Bridge across the Gila River is an excellent vantage point to view species up and down the river. This event is low-mobility accessible, and binoculars are available to borrow.

Retired professor Dave McDonald will present on his years of research on Neotropical manakins, colorful birds with a lek mating system in which males perform spectacular courtship displays at clustered courts visited by females prospecting for mates. Most recently his focus has been on Golden-winged Manakins in Ecuador where he discovered that females play a more active role in shaping male behavior than previously suspected.
