Welcome to the Verde Birding Trail

This site is all about where to see birds; it is not a site about birds. Visit our journal to see bird photos and read about Verde birding experiences and to share yours.

This is about birding along one of the last great accessible riparian waterways of the American Southwest!

We invite you to visit the Verde Valley Birding and Nature Festival. Please click on the image below to be taken to our site.

The Festival is now more than ten years old and has grown to become truly national in the scope of participation. One comment: "Wonderful - it was well worth the 1400 mile drive."

We are the "Chamber of Commerce of Verde Birding"
