ghow.jpgThe Arizona Game & Fish Department's Whitewater Draw Wildlife Area is an oasis for breeding and migrating birds and winter home to hawks, eagles, falcons, owls, waterfowl, songbirds, and thousands of Sandhill Cranes.

This 2-hour bird walk begins at 9 a.m. Picnic facilities are available, and participants are encouraged to bring lunch as well as drinking water (the site has restrooms but no potable water). The walk includes general birding around the main wildlife viewing area and adjacent trails; a post-walk highlight is watching the Sandhill Cranes return from their breakfast in nearby farm fields (dependent entirely on the cranes' schedule, of course).

$5 per person for adult members of SABO, $10 for adult non-members; $2/members, $5/non-members for children age 10 to 16 when accompanied by an adult. Reservations are recommended; pre-paid registration is refundable only if SABO cancels the walk on account of weather, road conditions, or other access issues.

Whitewater Draw Wildlife Area is located at 8477 Coffman Rd., McNeal, AZ, between Bisbee and Elfrida. Click for interactive map.

Personalized tours of Whitewater Draw Wildlife Area for individuals and groups are available with advance arrangements. For more information, contact SABO.
