Little River Canyon National Preserve is a bird watcher's delight! Watch vultures and raptors soar in the canyon over the river from the many overlooks, enjoy birds thriving along the riverbanks, and birds chirp and tweet along the trails and backcountry roads throughout the year.

Take a hike on one of our many trails and see how many of the 142 birds found at Little River Canyon you can spot!
