Come explore the birds of the Sonoran Desert with us! Whether you’re just getting acquainted with our feathered friends or are a seasoned birdwatcher, everyone is welcome. Meet on the patio of Desert Foothills Library, and we’ll explore nearby Saguaro Hill Preserve with a guide from Desert Foothills Land Trust.

Please wear closed-toe shoes, sun protection, and bring water. If you have binoculars, bring those as well, though they are not required.
