    Overview

    In the city of Henderson, a former wastewater treatment facility has been transformed into one of the finest urban birding preserves in the American West. Nine ponds connected by walking paths attract more than 300 bird species annually, and spring visits bring Anna's, Costa's, and Black-chinned Hummingbirds to the riparian and scrubland edges. The preserve's Monarch Garden adds nectar-plant habitat specifically designed for pollinators, including hummingbirds, creating a layered habitat that makes this a rewarding destination any morning of the week. Free admission and sunrise opening hours make the Henderson Preserve particularly accommodating for serious wildlife photographers and birding enthusiasts seeking the best light.

    Springs Preserve

    Las Vegas

    An unexpected paradise at the confluence of Las Vegas urban life and the ancient Mojave Desert, Springs Preserve preserves the site of the Las Vegas Valley's original artesian springs — the water source that made this desert valley habitable. Today, the 180-acre preserve hosts a celebrated botanical garden planted exclusively with Mojave Desert natives propagated from local Valley seed stock, making them genetically authentic and exceptionally well-adapted to the desert climate. The Wildlife Garden beside the preserve's wetland area features salvia, penstemon, and tecoma specifically chosen to attract and feed hummingbirds, drawing Anna's and Costa's hummingbirds to reliable nectar sources year-round. For visitors passing through Las Vegas, this is the clear choice for an authentic desert hummingbird encounter.
