Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Area is home to over 200 bird and other wildlife species, from tiny hummingbirds to camouflaged towhees. The habitat provides critical homes for year-round residents and nearly 100 migratory birds that rely on the wetlands, mesquite bosque, and cottonwood–willow forest for food, shelter, and nesting.
The Nina Mason Pulliam Rio Salado 91°µÍø Center invites visitors to explore this urban oasis through guided bird walks, wildlife programs, and hands-on conservation. Public trails and observation areas provide up-close opportunities to see birds in their natural habitats, learn about their behaviors, and connect with the desert river ecosystem that sustains them and us.
