Scottsdale is truly a birdwatcher’s paradise. Bird watching is one of the most popular lifetime hobbies around the world because it is fun and challenging at any age. Arizona is one of the premier bird watching states, possibly due in part to the warm Arizona climate that birds enjoy as much as the people do.  Much like the “snowbirds” who move to Scottsdale homes for the unique environment and great golf, birds migrate from the northern United States and Canada.  

You can often watch endangered and migrating birds enjoying the greens, nature and ponds along with golfers and resort goers at Sonoran Desert, FireSky Resort & Spa and The Phoenician. If you enjoy the outdoors, many bird watching locals are along Scottsdale’s famous hiking trails and nature spots like Lost Dog Wash Trail, Pinnacle Peak Trail, and Nursery Tank Trail.  

If you don’t know anything about bird watching, don’t worry it is never too late to introduce yourself to this unique hobby. TheDesert Botanical Garden has been educating visitors and the public about the desert plants of the Southwestern United States and the world since 1939. The Garden is a wonderful place to hold a wedding or business event because it has both indoor and outdoor spaces including open air pavilions.  

Scottsdale, Arizona, has many attractions that make it worth exploring from outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, and golfing to indoor activities such as world-class shopping, art museums, and spas. Whichever activity you are enjoying at the moment, take the time to look out for a heron or osprey, enjoying the warm weather and wonderful climate along with you.
