Birding & Hiking


One of the most famous birding areas in the United States is a north-facing valley in the Santa Rita Mountains with riparian woodland along an intermittent stream, bordered by mesquite, juniper-oak woodlands, and pine forests. Madera Canyon is home to over 250 species of birds, including 15 hummingbird species. Visitors from all over the world arrive in search of such avian specialties as the Elegant Trogon, Elf Owl, Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher, Red-faced Warbler, and Painted Redstart. A comprehensive bird list published by FoMC is available at the Proctor Visitor Info Station and at trailheads.
