Madera Canyon, south of Tucson. They come for the trogons. They lust for flycatchers. They can't get enough of the warblers. Even if you don't spot so much as a sparrow, the surrounding mountain scenery is worth crowing about.
Many Sabino visitors get too caught up in the geology to notice the area's winged wonders.
Watch for roadrunners around the visitor center. Gates Pass, West Side. Twinkle, twinkle, little comet. Whether you report the UFO sightings is entirely up to you. Catalina State Park offers a dark sky and a sense of solitude.
