There will also be daily morning and afternoon bird walks along the nearby De Anza trail and Santa Cruz River, led by staff and volunteers of Tucson Bird Alliance and Tubac Nature Center. Our optics partners will also be leading trips so you can try out their gear on the trail before you buy!

To register for these free De Anza Trail trips, see the schedule below and click on the title of the trip you’d like to register for. Each trip will take an identical route, so there is no need to sign up for more than one.

If you do not wish to attend a De Anza Trail field trip, but rather just wish to join in the communal watching of the hawks themselves as they fly over the park, there is no need to register, just show up at any time between 8 AM and 12 PM at the location below!
