Melody's  Birding Adventures in Southern Arizona

(So Many Birds, So Little Time)

Whether you are a birdwatcher or a bird-a-holic (like your guide), come and join Melody Kehl.  With poking around Arizona since 1983 (particularly Southern Arizona) and running Outdoor Adventures since 1991, she knows where the birds are!!  

Each adventure is designed with a schedule and pace tailored to your needs, giving a unique and personalized birding experience.  Just imagine. . . an itinerary specifically designed for you. Whether you are looking for a day of birding, lusting for that elusive nemesis bird or yearning for a week-long all inclusive tour of Arizona, talk to us.  No 15 passenger van to crawl in and out of, just you and me to share the experience, plus lots of little extras a big tour company can not offer . . . at about the same cost. 

All of our day tours include a picnic lunch. We cater to people unable or unwilling to do the rigorous schedule of a tour group.

September,  2010

I would like to address this issue of border safety.  We are always cautious, but I am far more concerned about going to the mall after dark than I am along the border.   There have been no changes to our operation and none foreseen.  Most of the stuff in the news is simply media hype.  As most of you know, I have very good friends along the border and they are not worried either.  So come on!!!  Let's go birding!!!

We are running our regular trips into California Gulch for the Five-striped Sparrows through September.  The  picture was taken by Nancy Hillstromb as we were coming out of the gulch on the 29th of July after a gale hit us hard.  A prayer of thanks to the Great Birding God for looking after us.  Needless to say, we DID NOT get the bird.  If you look at the scrapbook, you will see a picture taken as we went in and as we came out.

September migrants are just starting to really push through.  We should have 3 or 4 weeks of great birding.  Some of our nesters are still producing, so all in all, a great time to bird in Southern Arizona.

   We continue to praise the Great Birding God and thank him for smiling down upon us.
