    The Tanque Verde Wash/Sabino Canyon Important Bird Area (IBA) spans two connected regions: the rugged Sabino Canyon and the more open Tanque Verde Wash. It is known for its rich bird diversity, including several priority species. Primarily functioning as a natural stormwater drainage, this area is mostly dry except during the monsoon season. It's a popular birdwatching spot, attracting various species like towhees, sparrows, woodpeckers, warblers, and goldfinches, along with rare sightings of the Gray Catbird and Rufous-backed Robin.
