Birding

Madera Canyon is one of the premier birding destinations in North America due to its location at the intersection of four major biotic regions. With over 250 species recorded in the canyon each year, it's no wonder why birders from all over flock here during migration season.

At Santa Rita Lodge we offer guided bird walks led by experienced local guides who know where to find all the best birds in Madera Canyon. We also have several hummingbird feeders located around our property which attract up to 15 different species throughout the year.
