Are you planning a birding trip to Arizona or New Mexico?

Depending on your goals, we'll visit 1-3 locations or do targeted birding for single species or rarities. For example we might explore the Santa Cruz Valley from Green Valley to Tubac and visit hotspots like Desert Meadows Park, Canoa Ranch Conservation Park, the De Anza Trail at Tubac Bridge/Ron Morris Park, and Santa Gertrudis Lane. Or we might make a trip to search for rarities at a single site like Pena Blanca Lake, Florida Canyon or Ramanote Canyon.

Depending on your goals, we'll visit 3 or more locations and sample multiple ecotypes/elevations, or focus on a list of species. For example we might meet in Green Valley, visit a few lower elevation desert sites, then work our way up in elevation to include grassland birds, lower canyon birds and then visit pine-oak sites in Madera Canyon. Or we could spend the day on Mount Lemmon sampling an elevational gradient from desert scrub to mixed conifer for Sky Island specialties.

Typically we'll focus on listening to and seeing several species at multiple sites within a local area (e.g., Madera Canyon). We could also add night birding to your Custom Multi-Day Tour and search for specific target species.
