Winter birding in Arizona is exceptional because the state serves as a wintering ground for species that migrate south from colder regions. From November through March, the birding diversity near our Gilbert and Mesa vacation rentals increases dramatically, making a winter vacation an ideal time for bird watchers to visit.
Winter Species to Watch For
The Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch in Gilbert hosts winter visitors including various duck species, sandhill cranes, and white-crowned sparrows. Red Rock Country near Sedona, a scenic day trip from our East Valley properties, attracts rare winter visitors that birders travel from across the country to see. The Salt River area is another winter birding hotspot accessible from The Big House and Peaceful Paradise.
Combining Birding with Comfort
Winter birding means early mornings in cool temperatures, making the warm return to your vacation rental especially welcome. Brew a pot of coffee at The Grand Oasis, review your sightings list, and plan the afternoon from the comfort of your spacious living room. Winter rates at our Arizona properties offer excellent value, making it the perfect season for a birding-focused vacation. Check availability at LoveYourVacationRental.com.
