Hummingbird Activities

BBLH1.jpgSoutheastern Arizona is a hummingbird watchers' paradise! Fifteen species regularly nest in or migrate through our deserts, mountains, and riparian areas.

From spring through early fall, SABO offers a variety of events especially for fans of these fierce and flamboyant birds, including:
  • banding sessions at the San Pedro House and in Carr Canyon
  • half-day field clinics at hummingbird hot spots
  • weekend workshops
  • week-long tours
Currently scheduled events are listed below. For information on hummingbird activities farther in the future, please contact SABO.

Upcoming events

  • Hummingbird Banding at the San Pedro House

    • March 27, 2010
    • 04:00 PM - 06:00 PM
    • San Pedro House
    bchu.jpgUp to 10 species of hummingbirds use the green corridor of the San Pedro River as a freeway between their tropical winter retreats and their northern nesting grounds. The public is invited to get a close-up look at these tiny travelers as staff and volunteers from the Southeastern Arizona Bird Observatory capture, band, weigh, measure, and release them as part of long-term studies of the bird life of this vital migration route.

    The banding station is located at the San Pedro House visitor center of the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area, 7 miles east of Sierra Vista on Highway 90. For directions, please see SABO's Activities map.

    The public is welcome to observe banding sessions at no charge, but donations are gratefully accepted. Hummingbird "adoptions" may be available; proceeds support SABO's hummingbird research.

    hbws.jpgWork on your hummingbird identification skills with Sheri Williamson, SABO naturalist and author of A Field Guide to Hummingbirds in the Peterson Field Guide Series, at Beatty's Guest Ranch, Arizona's number one hummingbird hot spot. Up to 12 species of hummingbirds may be present, offering opportunities to study fine differences in plumage, behavior, and voice under the guidance of an expert. Limited to 8 participants.

    The field clinic takes place at the Controlled Access Site at Beatty's Miller Canyon Guest Ranch in the Huachuca Mountains south of Sierra Vista (click for interactive map). Some walking is required to reach the site, including up a short but steep section of trail.

    $35 per person for members of SABO and/or guests of Beatty's Guest Ranch, $45 for non-members. Participation is limited, and reservations are highly recommended; prepaid registration is refundable only if unforeseen circumstances force SABO to cancel the walk.
