Verde Valley Birding and Nature Festival: Agua Fria National Monument Field Trip

April 26, 2024 @ 6:00 am - 3:00 pm

$75

The Agua Fria National Monument is one of our National Park treasures managed by The Bureau of Land Management. We’ll bird along the Agua Fria River riparian corridor – an Important Bird Area dominated by an over-story of cottonwood and willow that shelter many different species of songbirds and raptors. Among these birds are Cooper’s and red-tailed hawks, kingbirds, vireos, wrens, warblers and sparrows. Cathy brings a fresh perspective to the birding. An additional lunch stop at Arizona Game and Fish’s Horseshoe Ranch to view ancient petroglyphs is included. Difficult terrain.
