Winter 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 winter, bird activity is shaped by winter residency, irruptions, and energy conservation along the Pacific Flyway.

Where to look

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

Observation timing

Birds often feed actively after sunrise and before dusk. Sheltered edges and open water can concentrate activity.
