Patagonia Roadside Rest

Almost as well known as the Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve, the Roadside Rest is the best place to look for the Rose-throated becard, varied bunting, Indigo bunting, and Zone-tailed hawk.

Be EXTREMELY CAREFUL when visiting this site as it is Arizona Department of Transportation property and traffic can be heavy at times. Visibility is limited so be very cautious. Do not cross any fences.
