Birding
A Birder’s Dream
The natural habitat of Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness, and its surrounding area, provides the perfect environment for over 120 different species of birds.
Though we don’t have any partridges in our pear trees, we do encourage birds on our property by hanging birdhouses, providing birdseed blocks and a fountain in which they can drink and bathe (not to mention the creek nearby). You don’t even need to leave the comfort of your patio to observe a great variety of birds. Many local birders feel our farm and orchard has some of the best birding habitat in the canyon. Numerous colorful migrating birds stop at Aravaipa Farms on their way to their ultimate destinations, including bright red cardinals.
Don’t forget your binoculars when you hike on the trails nearby or into Aravaipa Canyon. You’ll want them with you while you keep watch for the many varieties that call the area home and who migrate through. We have several birding and wildlife books focused on Arizona for sale in our market as well.
Grab your binoculars.
Catalog which species you see while you are at Aravaipa Farms and the surrounding area.
We’ve partnered with the Tucson Audubon Society.
Several Owl Boxes and Nest Boxes have been placed around our property to help keep the wildlife out of our orchards.
If you’re interested in also placing one of these boxes on your property to encourage birds and owls to roost, we have a few for sale in our on-site market.
