Catalina Foothills

Catalina Foothills is located north of Tucson in Pima County, Arizona. Situated in the southern foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains, Catalina Foothills has a population of over 50,000. Most of the birds in this section were photographed in and around my home in Cimarron Foothills Estates, which is north of Sunrise between Craycroft and Wilmot. The bird species in the list are shown in the order of frequency in the area; in the navigation below, they are listed alphabetically.
