Ornithological Summary The Sky Islands and Sonoran Uplands IBA contains a gradient of habitat ranging from Madrean Occidental 'Sky Island' life zones down through Madrean oak, chaparral down to Saguaro upland desert. This area with its different life zones is united in its proximity to Tucson. There is an impressive assortment of bird species of conservation concern that use this proposed IBA as habitat. Raptors found in significant amounts and with regularity include: Peregrine Falcon (eBird high count: 3), Golden Eagle (eBird high count: 2), Northern Goshawk (eBird high count: 3) and many other raptors not of conservation status including Sharp-shinned Hawk, Zone-tailed Hawk, and Harris’s Hawk.

Sonoran Sky School(eBird high count 20) in the desert habitat and mesquite habitat that spans up into medium elevations. The higher elevations are excellent for the charismatic Red-faced Warbler (IBA survey high 36/km2) and SE AZ specialty birds, the Olive Warbler (IBA survey high of 6.67/km2) and Grace’s Warbler (IBA survey high of 21.7/km2). Other warblers include Black-throated Gray Warbler (IBA survey high of 14.4.km2), MacGillivray’s Warbler (IBA survey high of 6.67/km2) breeding at high elevations and migrating at all elevations and Virginia’s Warblers (eBird high count 26) in the oak habitat. In the lower zones there are Abert’s Towhees (IBA survey high 66.7/km2) and in several different elevational zones there are Canyon Towhees (IBA survey high of 50.3/km2). This area is also great for sparrows including Rufous-crowned Sparrows (IBA survey high of 17.3/km2) on rocky slopes and SE Arizona’s specialty sparrow the Rufous-winged Sparrow (IBA survey high of 145/km2).

Fuel buildup is a concern in this portion of the Coronado National Forest and in 2003 the Aspen Fire burned 84,750 acres of forest in the Santa Catalinas. Recreation and road disturbance is a notable impact on this habitat. The biggest threat to the saguaro uplands habitat of the proposed IBA is urban encroachment and development. With this influx of people has come another threat to the saguaro – exotic plants. Exotic plants almost always out-compete native plants for the limited resources of water and nutrients. Exotic plants – particularly bufflegrass, fountain grass, and red brome – have also led to an increase in wildfires in the desert, which harm or kill native vegetation, including the saguaro.
