Year-round bird residents: cactus wren, canyon towhee, Gila woodpecker, ladder-backed woodpecker, Harris’s hawk, verdin, or Say’s phoebe.
During migration, we can see a large variety: phainopepla, American kestrel, gilded flicker, curve-billed thrasher, Abert’s towhee, or various warblers (Wilson’s, Lucy’s, Townsend’s, or yellow warbler).
