Hummingbirds and Arizona History
March 23, 2023
Join our expert birding guide as we start the day at the Paton Center for Hummingbirds in Patagonia. Visitors come from around the world to observe hummingbirds in a backyard made world-famous among birders by Wally and Marion Paton. Afterwards we visit The Empire Ranch, established in the 1860’s as a homestead ranch of 160 acres. After a tasty box lunch, we will travel to Murray Springs Clovis Site near Sierra Vista – one of the Smithsonian’s Great Clovis Sites – discovered in 1966 and excavated for four years. Prehistoric Paleo Indians hunted large mammals here, such as mammoth, bison and early relatives of horses and camels.
