Our highly-rated Birding Field Trips are led by experienced local guides through Northern Arizona Audubon Society. You will visit some of the locals’ favorite birding spots and be treated to sightings of some of this area’s iconic birds. Have fun spending time with fellow hummingbird enthusiasts as you learn about other common and unusual birds in the Sedona area.

On this trip you’ll visit the area where the town of Sedona began. Originally known as Red Rock, Arizona Territory, Sedona is steeped in pioneer history and famous for its red rocks. But Sedona is also a town within the Verde Valley, which has more flowing waterways than any other region in Arizona — a draw for abundant bird life. You’ll visit the Armstrong yard which boasts over 150 avian species and take a coffee/muffin break. We’ll take a short half mile round trip hike to see the pools of water on Secret Slick Rock Mesa which overlooks Red Rock Crossing at Oak Creek—the quintessential photo spot for the view of Cathedral Rock. Also some quick stops at the pioneer cemetery and homestead cabin. Trip leader Nanette Armstrong promises she will talk non-stop history and birds. Bring your camera.
