Use the QR code or visit our website to sign up! We send two newsletters, and both land just once a month. One follows the birds - seasonal sightings, what’s migrating through Prescott, seed and feeder tips, and every upcoming walk. One follows the glass - new optics, spotlights, and Eric’s picks. Sign up for the one that fits how you get outside, or take both.

One email a month. That’s it.

Our 18th Annual Wild Bird Photo Contest is here. All through September, bring your best printed photos of wild birds - in their natural habitat, at the feeder, mid-behavior, or a group shot of two or more, and drop them off at the store. Up to three entries per photographer, no larger than 8½ by 11, unframed and unmounted, each with your name, contact info, and a title. Photos need to be your own. Through October, every entry goes on display in our conference room and the public votes with Lookout ballots. We’ll announce the winners on October 31 at noon, during our 23rd Anniversary celebration from 11 to 2. First place takes a $100 gift certificate, with $75, $50, and $25 for the runners-up and honorable mentions.

📍 1230 Willow Creek Rd, Prescott · Drop off entries Sept 1–30, 8:30–5:30

“While visiting Panama earlier this year our birding group visited a roosting site for cattle egrets! Such pretty birds. On an occasional basis we get cattle egrets in Yavapai County.” - Eric Moore, Owner of the The Lookout
