Hummingbirds in particular flock to the gardens to enjoy the abundance of flowers. In addition to birding, participants will learn about Sonoran Desert vegetation and the history of Tohono Chul. Meet at 9:30 AM at the Tohono Chul admissions window. Limited to 12 participants. Wrap up by 11 AM. At the walk’s conclusion a live raptor presentation will be available to all participants on site.

Tohono Chul entrance fee will be waived for trip participants. This program is being offered in partnership with Tohono Chul.
