Monsoon Magic Bird Hike

Witness the magical bird diversity created by afternoon rains and the beginnings of fall migration by joining a ranger on a guided hike to a lush oasis in the desert.

A rapid greening follows the afternoon rains, and many local birds delay nesting or nest a second time to take advantage of this short-term bounty. Mexican species often wander up from the south on the wet winds, while from the north come southbound migrants. 

Join a ranger on a 1-mile hike and come view this special sample of birds visiting the park!
