Interested in learning about birding, but not sure if it’s right for you? Stop by Ranger Jacque’s table for a beginner’s intro to the birding world and desert birds.
From hobbyists to extreme birdathon competitors, birding is a popular past time all over the world thanks to its relative ease and affordability. Yet for those newly interested, it can seem overwhelming. How do people recognize one bird among the 570 species in Arizona? It may not be as difficult as it seems if you know what to look for. What do you need to start birding? For information on the costs and commitment, start here at the come-and-go ranger table to chat with Ranger Jacque. There, you can learn to start identifying the most commonly found local birds with the help of apps and other resources.
