Randall Davey: Bird Walks and More!
Visiting the Center
The trails, restrooms and gardens at the Randall Davey Audubon Center and Sanctuary are open Monday to Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Watch birds visit our bird feeders, or walk the trails and enjoy the beauty and serenity of the 135-acre wildlife sanctuary. The visitor’s center is typically open 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., but we still have some gaps in our volunteer coverage. We appreciate your patience. Free bird walks are conducted every Saturday at 8:30 a.m. Please note that we are closed holiday weekends and in January. The Center is located at 1800 Upper Canyon Road, Santa Fe.
Historic House Tours
Step back in time as you stroll through the old Santa Fe style home of the artist Randall Davey (1887-1964). This docent-led tour will give you an opportunity to view some of Davey’s most spectacular works of art, as well as a beautiful collection of Spanish Colonial and European antiques. Tours are held every Friday at 2:00 p.m. Cost is $5 per person. Please reserve your spot by calling 505-983-4609 X28, or click here for more details. Thank you and stay healthy!
