The Whitewater Draw Wildlife Area

Located near Willcox, Arizona (near the Mexican border) this special place is home to thousands of Sandhill Cranes during the winter months. Their noonish fly-ins from the surrounding corn fields is a sight to be seen (and a racket to be heard)! Sandhill cranes aren't the only bird species that call this area home. Many waterfowl and shorebird species can be found here with a few raptors mixed in for good measure. There's a lot here to keep any birder (and bird photographer) happy.
