Tips for birding Dead Horse Ranch State Park
While the majority of this park is arid and home to roadrunners and Gambel's Quail, it includes several ponds worth checking in winter and migration, and brushy vegetation harbors songbirds year-round. Riparian areas host associated birds, including breeding Brown-crested Flycatchers. This is a good place for Vermilion Flycatcher most seasons, and for Lawrence's Goldfinch in winter.

About Dead Horse Ranch State Park
The developed portion of Dead Horse Ranch State Park covers 423 acres. The 3,300-foot elevation accounts for the mild temperatures that are ideal for camping, mountain biking in the Coconino National Forest, hiking along the Verde River, canoeing, picnicking, fishing, or just wading in the cool water.

A six-mile reach of the river is known as the Verde River Greenway State Natural Area. Its unique ecosystem, the Cottonwood and Willow riparian gallery forest, is one of less than 20 such riparian zones in the world. Life along the river changes with the seasons, giving visitors a glimpse of the numerous species of raptors, neotropical migrants, resident songbirds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and fish.
