Birding the Arizona Sky Islands with Alabama Audubon
May 23rd-30th, 2025
Join Alabama Audubon and American Birding Guides for a May 2025 adventure in southeastern Arizona -- one of the top birding destinations in the United States! Witness the bold colors and incredible wildlife of the Sonoran and Chihuahuan Deserts, and the unique montane sky islands that rise from these deserts. In one of the most biodiverse regions in North America, your expert guide will show you birds, plants, and other wildlife found nowhere else on earth.
We’ll begin in Tucson, first traveling to Mt. Lemmon and Box Canyons north of Tucson, before traveling south and east across the desert to famous birding destinations such as Madera and Ramsey Canyons, Patagonia, and the Huachuca Mountains before returning to Tucson. This small-group adventure is designed to be immersive and relaxing, with abundant opportunities to watch and photograph birds, and explore Arizona at an enjoyable pace.
