Welcome to Verde Valley Birding

Hotspots: these are documented bird sites and each has its own page here. Also, see below for more information. Each hotspot is documented on eBird with at least 150 bird species. These birding places are all conveniently reached by vehicle and are easily walked by birders. “The Verde Valley” includes Sedona, Cottonwood, Camp Verde, Cornville, Jerome and Northern Yavapai County and Southern Coconino County.

The icon of the Verde Valley is, of course, the Verde River. This is truly an emerald jewel of the American Southwest. The River is the continued focus of riparian conservation efforts and projects. Learn more about the River by clicking here.
