Gila County’s top ten spots for birdwatching Is Gila County a great place to strap on the binoculars and see birds? Ask ‘Tommy D’ Debardeleben, author of a popular website frequently updated with his adventures seeking rare birds around the Grand Canyon State. Most of his days off work during 2017 were spent birding Gila County - starting the year with 137 species he had found on prior visits, and doubling that already-impressive tally to 275 before New Year’s Eve. Search posts at tommysbirdingexpeditions for anecdotes from across Gila County, from a rufous-winged sparrow singing at the southern tip of the county, just off Highway 77 near Winkelman and the Gila River (where black vulture and Mississippi kite are also possible), to ‘chases’ northwards hoping for short-tailed hawk in the Pinal Mountains, to San Carlos Lake for hooded merganser, Bonaparte’s gull, and Franklin’s gull, and to Green Valley Park in Payson for Northern parula and rufous-backed robin. “I fell in love with the county,” he writes. “I saw how diverse it was, and how much potential it had for personal discovery. Before I knew it, I had spent a huge chunk of the year devoting my birding time Gateway to the Copper Corridor 2022 Red Breasted Nuthatch to Gila County . . . it was a fun ride.” Nature-lovers seeking narrative descriptions can spend hours reading Tommy D’s blog posts and be familiar with most of the 10 spots in this list of great places to see and photograph birds.
