Birding Hotspot: El Rio Preserve, Marana, Arizona
|
One of my favorite birding hotspots right now is El Rio Preserve in Marana, just a short trip north on I-10 from Tucson. See the map to the right. Take the W. Twin Peaks Road exit off of I-10, head west to Coachline Blvd, turn right and follow the road to El Rio Preserve.
The preserve, adjacent to the Santa Cruz River, was originally farmland as well as a source of gravel for the nearby I-10 construction. The area is now beautifully maintained by the town of Marana as a wildlife area, with the help of an agricultural water allocation. |
