Celebrate the many birds that pass through and call Northern Arizona home at the Verde Valley Birding & Nature Festival. Held at Cottonwood’s Dead Horse Ranch State Park from April 25 to 28, this festival will feature guided birding tours, workshops and keynote speaker and acclaimed bird photographer Richard Crossley. This year’s theme is migration. This festival also benefits the Friends of the Verde River, a nonprofit that works to protect and preserve the Verde River. Visit verderiver.org for more.
