Become a Tumacácori Junior Ranger

Think history is boring grown-up stuff? Ha! What could be more kid-friendly than following the travels of Pancho the Vermilion Flycatcher? Young children will enjoy the Pancho sticker-book tour. Older kids will be challenged by a visual treasure hunt. At Tumacácori, there is no book to fill out - the Junior Ranger program is an activity to be done while exploring the park. Inquire at the visitor center.

Wouldn't it be amazing to hear the story of Tumacácori from one who has witnessed it first hand. Or is it "first wing?" Ranger Melanie and her feathered co-host read aloud, with discussion points to explore.
