With Yuma's diverse habitats that range from desert farmlands to the lower Colorado River wetlands, around 400 species of birds make the region a seasonal stop or year-round home.

With dozens of activities, including field trips and seminars, the upcoming Yuma Bird Festival will immerse you in all of the natural beauty that Yuma and the surrounding area have to offer. Held every January, the festival features a variety of interesting and unique field trips, activities, and presentations.
