Tubac's wild high-desert regions are home to a diverse family of wildlife, from quail to coyotes, lizards big and small, curious prairie dogs, big-eared jack rabbits, and America's most diverse selection of migratory birds. Many bird watchers come to Tubac during the best months for birding, from March through September. Late April and May, and late August and September, offer the greatest diversity of species, including migrants and spring/summer residents. Winter is the season for sparrows and occasional southern vagrants such as the rufous-backed robin.
