Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve
Henderson
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.
