SUMMARY:Paton Center Bird Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a relaxing morning at the Paton Center\, featuring short\, easy walks (less than a mile total) along trails like the Cuckoo Corridor and Gray Hawk Birding Trail.

Known for its vibrant backyard birdlife and scenic setting\, the Paton Center for Hummingbirds offers the perfect opportunity to experience the unique birds of southeast Arizona.\nTrip difficulty: Easy to moderate; Less than 1 mile on level but uneven surfaces (trails are mostly packed dirt or consist of wood chips). Drinking water\, restrooms and benches are available at the Paton Center.\nLimited to 10 participants. All ages welcome.\nLeader: Wayne Smith\, Paton Center Birding Ambassador\n\nTo sign up: Email the Paton Center Site Manager\, Alexis Stark (astark@tucsonbirds.org)
