I went on a half day birding trip during our visit to Sedona January 19, 2023. I had a great day! Tim Weber was a very knowledgeable guide... read more who has a phenomenal ear so he found lots of birds by first hearing them and then rapidly sighting them. He is also fast with getting the bird with the spotting scope so we got great looks at most of the birds we saw. In the half day we saw over 40 species of birds and visited several habitats. Not only is he an excellent guide, he has an easy going enthusiastic likeable style which made the trip super enjoyable. He also knows the habitats, the trees and bushes and what the birds are eating so that added another layer of enjoyment to the trip.
Whether you are an experienced birder or a novice just wanting to spend a great day outdoors seeing a lot of birds, this is a great way to spend time in Sedona.

Tim and I went on a solo birding trip for the entire day (sunrise to sunset). Couldn’t recommend this enough. I’m an advanced birder, and Tim got me to some... read more really awesome places.

Tim is the ideal bird guide -- with a degree in wildlife managment and deep ornithological knowledge, he knows where to find birds in unexpected places (well off the tourist... read more maps), and can tell you all about their behaviors, their seasonal coloration, and their unique characteristics. He is an enthusiast, and his enthusiasm is infectious. We spent a morning in May with him, and saw 65+ species in five distinct habitats. Because he knows the distinctive calls and songs of every bird in the Sedona area, he helped us spot birds we never would have seen without his keen ear and eye. Highly recommended
June 1, 2022Birding with Tim was the highlight of our week in Sedona. In addition to knowing where to go and what to do, Tim asked good questions from the get-go... read more so he could figure out what kind of birders we were and what we were hoping to see. Both the places we went and the pace at which we went were well tailored just to us. AND, we got some great looks at a great many species.

On Monday, January 8, I spotted a large bird whose characteristic flight pattern could only be that of a Turkey Vulture or a Zone-tailed Hawk to to the back and forth tipping motion. It flew over several times and displayed the long banded tail and feathered head of the Zone-tail! A lone Common Black-Hawk was also present in his usual location in the dead branches in the tall trees overlooking the ponds filled with fish. Osprey are daily visitors, a […]
- Bubbling Ponds Fish Hatchery; A Gem of an IBA (Important Bird Area)June 1, 2018One of my favorite places to take people birdwatching near Sedona is the Page Springs Fish Hatchery, which is an excellent example of the cooperation that exists between state government and private groups like the Audubon Society.

In addition to Arizona’s largest coldwater fish production facility, there are several warm water ponds for producing sport […]
