What we’re about
Are you a birder, birdwatcher, or just curious about birdwatching?
Come explore with the Northern Arizona Audubon Society (NAAS) in the Flagstaff, Sedona, and Verde Valley areas. Northern and Central Arizona contain all the major biomes and offer some of the best inland birding in the United States.
Our bird walks and programs are organized and led by NAAS with the help of dedicated volunteers and knowledgeable bird guides. Events are always free and open to everyone—we’re an inclusive group that welcomes people of all backgrounds, lifestyles, and perspectives. Whether you’re a beginner looking for tips or an experienced birder seeking new sightings, come along and we’ll show you the way (and have fun doing it!).
To make these free events possible, NAAS provides honoraria for our guides and covers program costs. Donations are always appreciated—they help us support our guides and sustain our mission: to engage people in appreciating and protecting birds and the places they need.
