Southern Arizona Birding

Nestled in the heat of Southern Arizona’s migratory bird flyway, Amado Territory Ranch is situated on 17 acres of lush riparian habitat, set against the beautiful backdrop of the Santa Rita Mountains. In close proximity to birding destinations such as Madera Canyon and Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge, the Ranch is a unique year-round birding destination where species such as the Vermillion Flycatcher, Broad-Billed Rufous Hummingbird, Lesser Nighthawk, Coopers Hawk, Northern Cardinal, and Red-Naped Sapsucker can be spotted. Enjoy the fresh valley air as you explore the gorgeous garden areas that are vibrant with blossoming flowers, and alive with chirping birds, butterflies, and even a bustling squirrel or two.
