This center grew from the backyard birding activities of Wally and Marion Paton in the 1970s and is not just a haven for hummingbirds. It has recorded sightings of 213 different species of bird and is open to birders from dawn to dusk. A chain-link fence surrounds the property, and you'll likely see several cars parked outside.
The backyard of the house is decked out with binoculars, birding books and sugar feeders that attract rare hummingbirds. The center was acquired by the Tucson Audubon Society in 2014,
