From the City of Tucson Website:
Over 350 species of birds have been sighted in the Tucson metropolitan area which makes Tucson a bird-watcher's paradise. Tucson is surrounded by beautiful natural areas which are prime birding sites, but you don't have to leave the city to see a large variety of birds.
Tucson Parks and Recreation and the Tucson Audubon Society has developed a map showing 45 birding sites in the greater Tucson metropolitan area. The printed version of the map is available at Tucson Parks and Recreation locations and Tucson Audubon Nature Shops. You can download a PDF of the map or look at the birding sites online through the links below.

I have photographed at the three parks shown in the menu on the right. Some other parks which I shall soon be visiting are:
Catalina State Park: 520-628-5798, 11570 N. Oracle Road.
Tohono Chul Park: 520-742-6455, 7366 N. Paseo del Norte.
I'll add photographs if I get any good ones. Keep checking!
