Who We
Are
The Southeastern Arizona Bird Observatory (SABO) is a non-profit
scientific and educational organization based in Bisbee, Arizona.
Our mission is to promote conservation of the birds of southeastern
Arizona, their habitats, and the diversity of species which share
those habitats through research, monitoring and public education.
What
We Do
Outreach: Conservation begins with understanding and
appreciation. SABO’s programs include walks,
workshops, and tours at a variety of outstanding natural areas
throughout Cochise County, the heart of southeastern Arizona’s
birding paradise. Entertaining and informative presentations for civic and
conservation groups, schools, and community events throughout Arizona and
nationwide help to build a broad constituency for conservation of Arizona’s
wildlife and habitats. SABO also actively promotes ecotourism
as a component of sustainable rural economies, acting as consultant
to both the public and private sector and cultivating birder-friendly
businesses.
Research & Monitoring: SABO biologists, working in cooperation with government agencies, educational institutions, other conservation organizations, and dedicated volunteers, are gathering information vital to conservation planning. The most prominent of these efforts is a long-term banding study of hummingbirds of the San Pedro River in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management, the Friends of the San Pedro River, and private landowners. SABO has also assisted the National Park Service, Fish & Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Arizona Game & Fish Department in monitoring populations of breeding and migrating songbirds and also monitors wintering raptors of the Sulphur Springs Valley in an independent study funded in part by the Arizona Bird Conservation Initiative. SABO staff have also assisted public agencies in assessing bird activity in areas affected by wildfires and mining.
