Birds of Randall Davey Audubon Center

A Wealth of Birds

The Randall Davey Audubon Center is one of the best places for bird watching in Santa Fe. Ranging from common to rare, more than 220 species of birds can be found in the various ecosystems of this sanctuary and Important Bird Area! 

The center is located in foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and included many different habitats such as Pinyon-Juniper Woodlands, Ponderosa Forest, riparian areas along the Santa Fe river, grasslands, and more. Our wildlife and native plant gardens provide ample native plant food sources, as well as bird feeders, and bird baths. 

Many residential and migratory species visit the Center throughout the year. Check out our eBird hotspot and Motus station pages to see and record recent sightings. This data supports larger community science and conservation efforts both locally and internationally. 

Want to get involved locally? Check out our Pinyon Jay monitoring program, or join a bird count program to support conservation while birding in Santa Fe. You can also join a Saturday morning bird walk, led by local volunteer experts. All skill levels are welcome. See our upcoming events for dates and details.
