The Bird ListPlease click here to be taken to a general list of birds seen in the Verde Valley. Pay attention to the habitat notes for each species since not all are found everywhere. A list that is always under construction (see the text to the right) is the list of birds actually seen at this site. That growing list can be seen here. |
