Join Ranger Kevin for an introduction to birding in one of Arizona’s premiere birding locations. Click program title for more details.

Enjoy a roughly 2-mile walk on the Palm Lake, Mesquite Meander, Lions, and Willow Walkway trails. We’ll cover birding basics, from tools and equipment to bird identification tips and strategies while looking for birds along the way. Trails are rated easy, although thick sand is possible in some stretches. Don’t worry if you don’t have binoculars; the Ranger will have some to borrow. Please wear sturdy closed-toe shoes and bring plenty of water. Hats and sunscreen are always recommended. Restrooms are available near the parking area. NO pets, please.
