The Chiricahua Mountains, one of the most renowned bird-watching areas in North America, are where the beautiful Elegant Trogons nest during the spring and summer months.

Frequent year-round visitors to Quailway Cottage include numerous Gambel's Quail that roost in the orchard during the summer months and the evergreens in the winter. Over 125 bird species have been seen on the Quailway Cottage property.

Quailway Cottage is the permanent home for many species of birds native to southeastern Arizona. During the months of April and May, and again during the mid-July monsoon season, other birds are readily visible while on their migration routes, and the winter months bring still different varieties.
