What we’re about
Are you a birder, birdwatcher, or just curious about birdwatching?
Come explore with the Northern Arizona Audubon Society (NAAS) in the Flagstaff, Sedona, and Verde Valley areas. Northern and Central Arizona contain all the major biomes and offer some of the best inland birding in the United States.
Our bird walks and programs are organized and led by NAAS with the help of dedicated volunteers and knowledgeable bird guides. Events are always free and open to everyone—we’re an inclusive group that welcomes people of all backgrounds, lifestyles, and perspectives. Whether you’re a beginner looking for tips or an experienced birder seeking new sightings, come along and we’ll show you the way (and have fun doing it!).
To make these free events possible, NAAS provides honoraria for our guides and covers program costs. Donations are always appreciated—they help us support our guides and sustain our mission: to engage people in appreciating and protecting birds and the places they need.

Bird Walk | Longspurs, larks, and loggerhead shrikes
Raymond Wildlife Area, 10 Buffalo Range Rd, Flagstaff, AZ, USLongspurs, larks, and loggerhead shrikes: Buffalo Range Road in November
While fall migration is over in Flagstaff, an influx of grassland birds makes for exciting birding a couple thousand feet down the mountain. Large flocks of swirling Horned Larks visiting watering holes to drink bring to mind a miniature Serengeti, complete with Northern Harriers, Merlins, and Prairie Falcons waiting in ambush. This is also the perfect time of year to see late-migrating longspurs, and Chestnut-collared, Lapland, and Thick-billed are all possible visiting these tanks. Other likely species include meadowlarks, Canyon Towhee, Loggerhead Shrike, American Pipit, and White-crowned, Sagebrush, Brewer's, Vesper, and Savannah Sparrows. Harry Jones and Abbie Brozich will lead.
Date: Saturday November 22, 2025
Time: 8:00–11:00 AM
Meeting Point: I-40 exit 225; carpooling may be necessary as we will be driving 14 miles to Raymond Wildlife Area. We will stop at Babbitt, Lute Hart, and Casner Tanks as well as Raymond Wildlife Area, where restrooms are available.
What to Bring: Temperatures range from freezing at sunrise to much warmer in the late morning, so dressing in layers is recommended, particularly if the weather is windy. Bring binoculars, water, snacks, and a spotting scope if you have one. We will make scopes available to help view sometimes skittish grassland birds.
