Guided Bird Walk at Oracle
Oracle State Park
Sunday, February 22, 2026 12 p.m.
Join Ranger Dylan on a bird walk starting at the Kannally Ranch House and down into Kannally Wash to learn about our different avian friends that visit or call Oracle State Park home. Birds we are likely to see are Gambel's Quail, Woodhouse Scrubjay, Northern Cardinal, and maybe even the family of Harris Hawks that like to perch near the ranch house. We will also discuss migration patterns and why birds frequent Oracle State Park.
The hike will be held on Sunday, February 22 at 12 p.m. and will be about 1.25 miles with slight elevation changes. Bring your binoculars, hiking poles, water, and best bird book!
This event is part of Outdoors250, a celebration of America’s 250th anniversary and Arizona’s natural heritage. By participating in this event, you can enter to win Outdoors250 prizes by signing up at AZStateParks.com/
