Birding

Havasu National Wildlife Refuge forms a critical haven for wildlife in an increasingly populated part of the country.

Bird watchers come to the refuge for some of the best birding on the lower Colorado River. See the Refuge Bird List for a list of species found on the refuge.

Birding Hot Spots
Several locations on the refuge are popular with birders. Pintail Slough, Fivemile Landing, and Catfish Paradise can be accessed from County Route 1. Each of these sites have parking areas and can easily be toured on foot. A new viewing tower overlooking the Bermuda Pasture can be accessed by Levee Road.

Contact the refuge biologists to find out the recent hot spots and the latest closure information. If you are interested in volunteering for yearly surveys such as Audubon's Christmas Bird Count, please contact us.
