Tucson Bird Alliance: Southeast Arizona Birding Festival – Patagonia Area Field Trip

The Patagonia area is one southeast Arizona’s best-known destinations for riparian birds. Some of the specialties found around Patagonia are Gray Hawk, Thick-billed Kingbird, Varied Bunting, Violet-crowned Hummingbird and Northern Beardless-Tyrannulet. There are many famous and wonderful places to bird here including the Patagonia Roadside Rest, Harshaw Canyon, and of course the Paton Center for Hummingbirds. Our exact itinerary will be at the leader’s discretion, based on where our target birds are being seen most readily. Limited to 8 participants.

Difficulty: Moderate. Some walking on mild slopes, and possibly rocky/uneven surfaces. But mostly even and easy walking. Bathrooms available. Drive time to location approximately one hour on mostly paved roads.
