SUMMARY:Southwest Wings: Spring Fling - Hunter Canyon Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Join professional guide Kristy Gallo on a hike up Hunter Canyon where the 2011 Miller Peak Wilderness fire left its mark\, with the result being a unique combination of habitats that are home to a nice diversity of bird species.  \nThe initial hike is dominated by successional oak-scrub with birds like Crissal Thrasher\, Woodhouse’s Scrub-Jay\, Black-chinned Sparrow\, Spotted Towhee\, and Scott’s Oriole. Higher up\, the trail enters a stand of soaring conifers that were spared when the fire “jumped” the canyon; here we hope to find Band-tailed Pigeon\, Buff-breasted Flycatcher\, Grace’s and Virginia’s Warblers\, “Mountain” Pygmy-Owl and more. The pine forest wasn’t completely spared\, however\, and the scrubby disturbed habitat has been home to a resident pair of Rufous-capped Warblers\, which we hope to search for. Bring hat\, sun protection\, water and wear trail shoes.  \nHiking Difficulty: 4 difficult. Guide Kristy Gallo \n\nMeeting place: Parking lot next to La Sierra Grill Steakhouse just north of the junction of Highway 92 and Hereford Road at 6.30am. Map link \n  \n  \nSouthwest Wings Birding and Nature Festival is Arizona’s oldest birding festival. Since 1991 we’ve been offering small group trips through monsoons and droughts … and even a global pandemic.  \n​The Southwest Wings Spring Fling will run from Wednesday May 6 to Saturday May 9\, 2026.
