SE Arizona is home to many species of birds that either reside here year-round, or that migrate through the Sky Islands (our small ranges of mountains). Over 200 species of birds spend the Winters in SE Arizona in various habitats from the mountain canyons to the grasslands (sparrows!) and the river and wetlands (Whitewater Draw). Winter birding is surprisingly productive and entertaining! And as Winter weather shifts into Spring by March, many birds begin their Spring Migration. The Cranes et al will depart Whitewater Draw by around mid-March, and other northbound migrants will make appearances (some have already arrived in late January! Yikes!) in the next several months, peaking in mid April to mid May. The migrants follow our Sky Island mountain ridges and valleys as they head North for the Summer. Every week features new arrivals and adventures in birding!
With short trips around our San Pedro River Valley and the Huachuca Mountain Canyons, there are multiple habitats and venues for great birding: The San Pedro River (right outside our back gate, onto 40 miles of BLM land along the river), to the Huachuca Canyons (Coronado National Monument, The Ash Canyon Bird Sanctuary (on Turkey Track Road), Miller Canyon, Carr Canyon, Brown Canyon Ranch, Ramsey Canyon (and the Nature Conservancy Preserve) and for US Residents - Fort Huachuca Army Base has two great birding tails : Garden Canyon and Huachuca Canyon.
Then in another short day trip one can head West to the Santa Rita Valley with stops along the West side to the Huachuca Mountains at Parker Lake, Elgin (wine county!) and Sonoita, on the way to Patagonia, the Nature Conservancy preserve at Patagonia, Patagonia Lake Park, and the Tucson Audubon's Patton House. Remember to watch for antelope grazing in the rolling grasslands along the way. The scenery is terrific!
Add yet another day outing heading to the East of our valley this time to stop in Old Town Bisbee (an old copper mining town turned artist haven), on the way to the Sulphur Springs Valley where you will enjoy Whitewater Draw (hosting about 20,000 Sandhill Cranes, Snow Geese, Ducks, Teal, Owls, etc etc) for a memorable outing. Heading further on to the east side of the Sulphur Springs Valley you will be able to explore the Chirichaua National Monument and poke into several other canyons for yet more birding. Watch for hawks, eagles and other wildlife along the way!
Winter birding is very productive - see up to 180 different species in just a couple of days! Spring Birding is even more productive and colorful!
The dance of the birding seasons and migrations are at the core of what makes this small corner of SE Arizona so productive and entertaining for birders of all levels, in every season - novice to expert!.
And, of course, at the center of all this stunning environment is the Casa on the banks of the San Pedro River which is rife with birds, from the River itself (right outside our back gate), through the grasslands (sparrows, hawks), to the Huachuca mountain canyons. One can collect between 180 to 200 species of birds in a short drive between the different habitats. Join us for a an unparalled birding experience and be sure to take some time off to settle into the Casa to relax and enjoy our warm hospitality!

A New Restaurant Recommendation:
Bisbee has a new restaurant, The Copper Pig, located in the Warren District of Bisbee, on Arizona Street. Only open Sunday to Wednesday, the restaurant adds important days of the week to the availability calendar for local eateries. The food is terrific and the staff welcoming. The Copper Pig has a BYO license for wine etc. It has gained instant popularity for its unique menu - so advance reservations are a must, especially since it was featured in an Arizona Highways article in January 2023.
