Hummingbird watching in Arizona is a specialized birding experience that draws enthusiasts worldwide. Arizona hosts more hummingbird species than any other state, with the monsoon season from July through September bringing the highest diversity. Our Gilbert and Mesa vacation rentals put you near excellent hummingbird habitat.
Where to See Hummingbirds
The Boyce Thompson Arboretum features designated hummingbird gardens planted with native flowers that attract Anna's, Costa's, and black-chinned hummingbirds year-round. During migration season, rarer species like broad-tailed and rufous hummingbirds pass through the East Valley. The Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, about thirty minutes from our properties, also maintains excellent hummingbird viewing areas.
Attracting Hummingbirds to Your Rental
If your vacation rental has a patio or balcony, consider setting up a small hummingbird feeder with sugar water during your stay. Guests at Peaceful Paradise and The Grand Oasis frequently spot hummingbirds visiting the landscaped gardens surrounding these properties. There is something magical about sipping morning coffee while watching these tiny, iridescent birds hover and dart just feet away. Explore birding from our rentals at LoveYourVacationRental.com.
