Coronado National Forest, Portal, AZ, is 60 miles from the border with Mexico. Birding is often a 'tropical' surprise, such as seeing Elegant Trogons. This is one of the most spectacular birding sites anywhere. One catch...there are drug runners (guys with backpacks full of you-know-what) and armed, you might run across. This jaring sign shouts the warning.

Welcoming sign for birders (in the middle of the parking lot), and nearby benches, and shade trees!

Nearby campgrounds sign, Coronado National Forest, Arizona. Beautiful campsites, privacy and a reasonable distance between campsites.
