International Hummingbird Society: Sedona Hummingbird Festival – Chuckwalla Drive and Bates Road Birding Field Trip
July 26, 2024 @ 6:30 am - 9:15 am
$30
Our highly-rated Birding Field Trips are led by experienced local guides through Northern Arizona Audubon Society. You will visit some of the locals’ favorite birding spots and be treated to sightings of some of this area’s iconic birds. Have fun spending time with fellow hummingbird enthusiasts as you learn about other common and unusual birds in the Sedona area.
We start this trip by driving about 20 minutes to Chuckwalla Drive in Cottonwood. This road abuts an open high desert landscape featuring cactus, scrub brush and Juniper trees. We take a short walk along the road where you are sure to see southwest specialties such as Cactus Wren, Curve-billed Thrasher, and Gambel’s Quail. Other likely birds are Canyon Towhee, Ash-throated Flycatcher, Western Kingbird, Northern Cardinal, Woodhouse’s Scrub-Jay, and Phainopepla. On the way back to Sedona, we stop at Bates Road to look for Vermilion Flycatchers.
