Trip Difficulty: Easy, around 1 mile on paved and unpaved surfaces, including grass and gravel. Restrooms and water available at the park.
Fort Lowell Park in Tucson offers a few different types of habitat in a compact space, which makes it a great place to learn about Tucson’s urban birds. Bring your binoculars, hat, and water for an easy walk on flat ground. Likely sightings include American Wigeon, White-winged (and other) doves, Gila Woodpecker, Vermilion Flycatcher, Verdin, Phainopepla, Anna’s Hummingbird, and Gambel’s Quail. And lots more, depending on which birds show up that morning! Beginners are welcome. Meet in the parking lot near the old fort; we’ll wrap up about 8:30 am. Limited to 12 participants.
