Tips for birding Page Springs Fish Hatchery
This IBA is a real avian treasure. Lush riparian habitat supports breeding cuckoos, orioles, tanagers, buntings, and warblers. Common Mergansers nest near the creek, and both Common Black-Hawks and Zone-tailed Hawks breed in the area. Migration can be almost overwhelming, with warblers, flycatchers, and sparrows moving through the brush, while fruit-eating birds congregate in the mulberry trees. Winter is good for sparrows in particular. Check the pond next to the parking area for waterfowl, walk along the creek to bird the riparian vegetation, and don't neglect the dry, open area just to the south of the hatchery - flocks of finches, buntings, sparrows and others are often easily visible in the sparser vegetation here.

About Page Springs Fish Hatchery
Nestled among the cool pines of the Coconino National Forest, the Page Springs Fish Hatchery offers a cool retreat from the desert during hot summer months. Families enjoy hiking the nature trail bordering Oak Creek, and kids like visiting the show ponds to see the hatchery's finest and largest trout.

At 82 acres, this is the state's largest cold water fish production facility, producing nearly 700,000 trout a year. The property also includes a smaller warm water hatchery, Bubbling Ponds. In recent years, Bubbling Ponds produced sport fish such as bluegill, largemouth bass, and walleye, and sensitive species such as razorback suckers and Colorado pikeminnow used by the department in native fish conservation and recovery efforts.
