About Ash Canyon Bird Sanctuary
Ash Canyon Bird Sanctuary is a charming hidden gem located on private property, originally established by a woman who loved birds. The sanctuary honors her memory by providing a welcoming space for bird lovers. Visitors can enjoy numerous bird feeders throughout the area, attracting a variety of hummingbirds, including Lucifer, Broad-billed, Anna's, Plain-capped Starthroat, and Rufous. The sanctuary features seating areas and maintained dirt walking paths, though access involves a rocky and bumpy unpaved road, with limited parking available. Friendly staff and volunteers are eager to assist guests by identifying birds and sharing the sanctuary's history. For those interested in birding, the facility offers binoculars and the option to reserve blinds for a closer look at the wildlife. Many visitors appreciate the lovely landscaping and gardens, making it a peaceful environment to relax and observe nature. The sanctuary also sells beautiful postcards and has a collection of birding books. While the sanctuary is small, it is filled with a diverse range of birds, making it a must-visit for anyone passionate about wildlife.
