Tips for birding Morgan City Wash
Located just south of Lake Pleasant, Morgan City Wash is almost unnoticeable if passing by the area on Highway 74. The area is hard to bird, which is why very few birders bird this area. It's hard to access and relatively hard to navigate through. However, it is one of the very best places to bird in Maricopa County, where high bird abundance and vagrants can almost be expected. The beautiful habitat here in this peaceful area is a rare find in these days. A long description short, what Morgan City Wash really is a lush and flowing riparian area in the middle of the desert. It is highly made up of willows and mesquite with a few cottonwoods. Reed-lined pools and ponds may be found here too. There is endless habitat to go through here, and one can miss birds just as easily as they are seen. It also meets up at a point near the access area with the Agua Fria River, which the Agua Fria River in this area has similar habitat with incredible birding as well. The dense riparian forest is surrounded by the sonoran desert. A birding day here during migration will really give birders a nice bird list with a good diversity. From Birding in Maricopa County
