Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Guided Bird Walk

Learn about birds of the Sonoran Desert on this easy guided hike with Ranger Eric! Join Ranger Eric to look for and learn about resident and migratory birds of the Sonoran Desert on this easy walk. We will meet at the Nature Center and check out the nearby feeders and vegetation, before going over to the tree plantings around the turf area. If time allows, we may check out a trail down by the Gila River, which is a bit more moderate hiking. Please carry ample water, wear sturdy footwear and sun protection, pre-hydrate and have electrolytes beforehand, and bring binoculars if you have them. Restrooms are located at the Nature Center.
