Paton’s Birder Haven in Patagonia, Ariz., is a prime destination for bird watchers from all over the world. About 30,000 people come here each year to see the birds.
Wally and Marion Paton first invited bird watchers into their backyard in the 1990s after they saw people in the street with binoculars looking in. When the Patons died, there was no plan for the future.
“It became internationally known because of particularly one species,” said Paul Green, president of the Tucson Audubon Society. “It’s really the only place in the United States that you can reliably see the Violet-crowned hummingbird.”
