Hi Pam,
Check out the Tucson Audubon website, starting here:
http://tucsonaudubon.org/what-we-do/visit/planning.html
If you are serious, I highly recommend "Finding Birds in Southeast Arizona",
available here: http://tucsonaudubon.org/what-we-do/publications/fbi.html
Also see the RBA, which I update each Friday:
http://tucsonaudubon.org/rba.html
If you have your family with you and only have a short time, I recommend
either Sweetwater Wetlands (in town, can spend 1-2 hrs there easily) or
Madera Canyon (45-60 minutes south, plan to spend a half day). Another nice
tourist/birding spot is the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum (25 minutes west),
and Sabino Canyon is convenient to the northeast side of town.
If you let me know ahead of time there's a good chance I can meet you at
Sweetwater (it's near my office, and is a great spot). Same goes for any
visitors from my home state of Tennessee!
regards,
Andrew
