Madera
Canyon
Nestled in the northern slopes of
this range is Madera Canyon. The flora along with the streams
that carved out this canyon help to sustain the many bird, mammal,
and insect species that breed here. Visitors from all over the
world arrive in search of such avian specialties as the Elegant
Trogon, Elf Owl, Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher, and Painted Redstart.
Over 230 species of birds have been recorded in the Canyon with
15 hummingbird species among them.
Thousands of birders,
hikers, photographers, artists, and those simply seeking a place
to enjoy a picnic under the shade of a Sycamore tree—next
to the cool water of a creek—have fallen in love with Madera
Canyon.
