El Canelo Ranch proudly offers a variety of birding and nature opportunities to individuals and groups.  The best way to bird El Canelo Ranch is to spend a night or two with us.  Some tour groups use El Canelo as “home base,” visiting a different refuge or other birding site each day and returning to El Canelo each night.
