Kachina Wetlands
This series of ponds and habitat at a water treatment plant is one of the top birding spots in Coconino County and is a must-visit. Many aquatic rarities stop over here every year. Walking trails give access to a series of permanent and seasonal ponds, as well as adjacent meadow and ponderosa pine habitat.
