| HENDERSON BIRD VIEWING PRESERVE |
At the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve visitors can expect to see thousands of
migratory waterfowl as well as numerous resident desert birds. Located within
the Henderson Water Treatment Facility, the Preserve sits on approximately 140
acres. There are nine ponds for bird watching with surrounding paved and dirt
paths.
During the winter and early spring you can expect to see many species of duck
such as the northern shoveler, green wing, cinnamon and blue wing teal, pintail,
bufflehead, and one of the most beautiful of all North American ducks, the wood
duck. Winter is also an ideal time to see geese (Canada, snow and Ross) and
returning tundra swan. The Preserve also features golden eagles, peregrine
falcons and northern harriers. Resident desert species include verdin, Abert's
towhee, Gambel's quail, greater roadrunner and crissal thrasher.
When you visit you can expect to do a lot of walking, so be sure to wear
appropriate clothing and comfortable walking shoes. Cameras and binoculars
are also recommended. If you do not have binoculars, the Preserve has some
available to loan you. Free guided birdwatching classes are also provided.
Please call for dates and times.
Admission: Free
Open daily from 6:00 am - 3:00 pm
