About California Gulch
From the town of Arivaca drive south on the Ruby Road for less than 11 miles and take the second FR 217 turn off that is prominently marked by a Forest Service “CALIF. GULCH” sign. The road is rugged and requires a high clearance vehicle. Audubon chapters occasionally lead field trips to this IBA. Detailed instructions can be found in the book Finding Birds in Southeast Arizona.

In the remote Pajarito Mountains of southeast Arizona California Gulch IBA is a unique thorn scrub vegetated canyon. California Gulch IBA is 5 miles west of Sycamore Canyon IBA. The canyon is unique with its dense shrub layer on its steep sides, and a perennial spring-fed stream draining into Mexico. From California Gulch Important Bird Area webpage
