"Surrounded by soaring cottonwoods and willows, The Nature Conservancy's
Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve is a great place for anyone to enjoy spring.
As one of the richest riparian habitats in southern Arizona, the preserve attracts
more than 300 kinds of birds that migrate through or nest along the valley
bordered by the Santa Rita Mountains."
