Saguaro National Park Summer Bird Walks
Saguaro National Park invites you to join experienced birding guide John Higgins on an early morning bird walk. Participants will hopefully encounter many of the twenty five species of birds that are year-round residences of the park.
Those interested should meet at Saguaro National Park 's Red Hills Visitor Center, located at 2700 North Kinney Road. The group will caravan to several nearby locations. The walking is considered easy, on flat but dirt and rocky trails. Persons of all ages, with or without bird watching experience, are welcome. Participants are encouraged to bring water and sun protection, and binoculars and bird guides if you have them. The walk usually lasts two hours.
Maine ocean islands provide the only nesting sites for Atlantic puffins in the United States. Eastern Egg Rock in the midcoast region, Seal Island and Matinicus Rock at the mouth of Penobscot Bay, and Machias Seal Island and Petit Manan Island off the downeast coast provide habitat for more than 4,000 puffins each summer.
