The Lower River Road Ponds, that are located in the Palo Verde Area southwest of Phoenix along Lower River Road, offer good birding opportunities and are a reasonable and close spot to bird at if birding in the general Arlington area or the Thrasher Spot. The water levels vary at the Lower River Road Ponds, but in season these ponds can be attractive to shorebirds, waterfowl, and gulls. The surrounding fields have numerous raptors and species that favor the agricultural fields.

Waterfowl and waterbirds seen here have included Snow Goose, American Wigeon, Mallard, Cinnamon Teal, Canvasback, Redhead, Lesser Scaup, Red-breasted Merganser, Eared Grebe, Western Grebe, Double-crested Cormorant, Great Blue Heron, Great, Snowy, and Cattle Egrets; Green Heron, White-faced Ibis, and American Coot. If the pond levels are low, the ponds will attract migrating shorebirds. The fields and surrounding area can be excellent for raptors, and Osprey are commonly seen near the ponds. This location is also a good place to observe different swallow species. From Birding in Maricopa County
