Tucson Bird Alliance: Southeast Arizona Birding Festival – Tubac Anza Trail Field Trip

A stroll through this lush riparian corridor along the Santa Cruz provides many opportunities for fall migrants, Zone-tailed and Gray Hawks, Thick Billed, Tropical, Cassin’s and Western Kingbirds, and many chats, tanagers, and warblers.

There might even be a chance of seeing Rose-throated Becards, though their numbers have been declining along the river. Monsoon rains will dictate the portions of the trail we walk. Director of Habitat Stewardship Kari Hackney will also share how Tucson Bird Alliance and the Tubac Nature Center are partnering together to preserve this beautiful area.

Limited to 9 participants.

Difficulty: Moderate. Fairly flat dirt walking trails that may be muddy, for 1 – 2 miles roundtrip under mostly shaded areas. Bathroom nearby at Ron Morriss Park. Drive time to location approximately one hour.
