A ranger will guide you on an easy walk to watch for birds and look for their homes camouflaged among the cactus and trees.
Watch for birds and see if you can spot their homes camouflaged among the cactus and trees. Perhaps see a woodpecker popping into a hole in a saguaro or notice twigs in a cholla carefully arranged by a curve-billed thrasher. This ranger-led walk is just over a mile long and is on easy terrain. Binoculars are helpful but not required. Also learn how you can participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count, a citizen science initiative that takes place in February. Meet outside the Nature Center. Limit 10 participants. To register, please email Shayla Gunn at shayla.gunn@maricopa.gov with the Name, Phone Number and # of people attending. If you do not have access to email please call Shayla directly at the park at 602-506-9542 with Name, Phone Number and # of people attending.
