    Overview

    Just a short drive up Canyon Road from the Santa Fe Plaza, the Randall Davey Audubon Center feels like a secret kept by the mountains. The 135-acre sanctuary hugs the upper Santa Fe River corridor, bordered on three sides by thousands of acres of National Forest land, creating a protected refuge where more than 190 bird species have been documented over the years. Native wildflower gardens erupt in July and August with exactly the blooms hummingbirds crave — columbine, penstemon, salvia, and red-tubular natives that lure Broad-tailed and Black-chinned hummingbirds to feed within arm's reach. Free Saturday morning bird walks led by experienced volunteers make this an ideal first stop for visitors building their New Mexico birding knowledge.
