SUMMER & FALL BIRDING IN  SE AZ  -The reverse migration starts in early August.  All those birds that zoomed through the area on thier ways North: to find mates, build nests, and raise chicks, are meandering South-bound for the winter.  And SE Arizona will be booming with green grasses, wildflowers in bloom, and perfect habitat to host the adults and chicks (double the bird numbers!) as they migrate through the San Pedro River Valley.

Summer/FAll bird watching (and hiking!) in SE Arizona is terrific!  Our location on the San Pedro River, and in the nearby mountain canyons, are home to many resident birds, and many birds that head South for the Winter.  The San Pedro River offers shelter, water, and food for the flocks of birds on their way.  Humminbird populations absolutely bloom from late July into October - hummingbird banding in our back yard on Friday afternnos is a perfect way to see and learn about these gems - our guests get to hold a rainbow in their hand as they get to release a hummer once it has been banded.  What a great opportunity to get really close to Nature!

Join us for adventures in birding on the River, in the nearby mountain canyhons and on hikes through lush grasslands.  Our weather becomes temperate quickly with the arrival of the Summer Monsoon rains in July through September when we get the bulk of our rainfall for the year - glorious afternoon showers with rainbows and thunderstorms that dance around the valley almost daily.  These are not huge frontal systems that create rain over a vast area, but isolated cells that produce a lot or rain in a small area, moving through the valleys quickly - so its easy to also stay dry! But the rains bring our valleys and mountains to life in such a magnificent way that it is awe inspiring - and also fruitful birding in the extreme!

Then as early fall merges into October many of our overwintering species also begin to arrive by late October into November.  The tapestry of foliage and dependen fauna (Birds Galore!) changes over from month to month.

One of our best birding locations is an Arizona Game and Fish preserve: Whitewater Draw.  This wetland hosts upwards of 25,000 Sandhill Cranes and numerous waterfowl (Ducks, Teal, Snow Geese, etc etc).arriving by late October.  Guests thrill at the many flights of birds as they go out to corn fields to graze and then return to Whitewater draw mid day and late afternoon.  What a chorus of Cranes to savor! 

The San Pedro River is also a great hub for birding throughout the year.  Summer is our season of our most colorful birds from hummers, to buntings, and even trogons.   Hawks  dot out skies and soar over the grasslands.  Our perfect Riparian and Grasslands  habitat affords a bountiful habitat.   And the nearby grasslands and mountain canyons add to the diversity of habitat and birding opportunities. Short day trips in several different directions give our guests unparalleled opportunities to collect as many as 200 different species of hawks, doves, wrens, sparrows, nuthatches, sparrows (etc. etc.) and waterfowl during their stays.  We also have a list of local bird guides who can get you to the birds you want to see. So much fun!
