Summer birds in Arizona

Arizona's sky islands and Sonoran Desert make it a premier destination for specialty birds found nowhere else in the U.S. During summer, bird activity is shaped by breeding and raising young along the Pacific Flyway.

Where to look

Explore desert, forest, wetland, urban habitat, including Madera Canyon and Ramsey Canyon Preserve.

Observation timing

Look and listen soon after sunrise, then check shaded habitat and water later in the day.
