River Walks
Western Kingbirds are common migrants and summer residents along the San Pedro River.
The San Pedro River, a narrow green oasis rippling through desert grassland, is one of the last wild rivers in the Southwest and one of the most endangered. Scientists have estimated that up to 4 million birds, from tiny hummingbirds to hawks and herons, use the river as a migration highway linking their winter and summer homes. These 3-hour guided walks through desert grassland and among towering cottonwood trees will introduce you to the birds and other wildlife that make their homes in the sanctuary of the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area. A busy feeding station at Casa de San Pedro Bed & Breakfast offers excellent views of some of the river’s more elusive residents. River Walks depart from Casa de San Pedro Bed & Breakfast and are offered weekly from late March through late May.
