SUMMARY:Southwest Wings: Spring Fling – Scotia Canyon Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Join local bird expert, Steve Tracey, on an exploration of Scotia Canyon, a lesser-known ‘hotspot’ on the west side of the Huachuca Mountains. \nThe rich Madrean woodlands and sycamore-lined riparian habitat hosts breeding birds like Dusky-capped Flycatcher, Elegant Trogon, Plumbeous Vireo, Painted Redstart, Red-faced and Grace’s Warblers and much, much more. The area will be accessed along the road past Parker Lake, with a quick stop there to look for any interesting birds. Hiking will be along a rough gravel road, with moderate elevation gain. Bring hat, sun protection, and wear trail shoes. Lunch is included – please select your sandwich filling from menu below the Field Trip descriptions on the registration page. \nHiking Difficulty: 3 moderate. Guide Steve Tracey.\n​\nMeeting place: The south-east entrance of The Mall at Sierra Vista, 2200 El Mercado Loop, Sierra Vista. Turn west onto Calle Mercancia from Highway 92, by the Wells Fargo bank, and the entrance is straight ahead. Map link\n \n \nSouthwest Wings Birding and Nature Festival ( https://www.swwings.org/spring-fling-2026 ) is Arizona’s oldest birding festival. Since 1991 we’ve been offering small group trips through monsoons and droughts … and even a global pandemic. \n​The Southwest Wings Spring Fling will run from Wednesday May 6 to Saturday May 9, 2026.\n
