San Pedro House
Operated by the Bureau of Land Management and located in the heart of the 57,000-acre San Pedro River National Conservation Area, a stop at the San Pedro House is a terrific introduction to birding the region. The San Pedro River is a southern Arizona treasure as the last un-dammed river in the Southwest. Hundreds of bird species, along with countless other wildlife, use the river corridor as a super highway for migration and seasonal movements. The San Pedro House is historic ranch that has been turned into a bookstore and information center and offers several miles of trails that meander along the San Pedro River and adjacent habitats.
