About Skunk Creek Riparian Area
Skunk Creek is a flood belt area in Peoria, mostly a grassy and rocky area with a small canal running through. For the most part, bird life is very low down in the flood belt. However, just east of 83rd Avenue and south of Bell, a small but very attractive patch of riparian plants and trees have been planted, consisting of many willows, a few cottonwoods, and others. It is good for migrating songbirds and is well worth checking if in the area. It's a noticeable patch of big green trees, and would certainly be noticeable to migrants on the move. West of this patch, some of the mesquite and paloverde habitats might have good birding as well. Further east, Skunk Creek is relatively bird less itself, but if on the path, one will walk by housing developments that have farmlands and orchards, which could very well hold interesting birds.
