Quarai is near the tiny village of Manzano and is a wonderful place to go birding. There are two trails that go through riparian habitat on either side of a creek. Huge cottonwoods and extensive understory attract a wide variety of nesting, migrating, and wintering species. Rarities show up on a regular basis including an ultra-rare Black-throated Green Warbler that I observed there a couple weeks ago. The site is also worth a visit to see the impressive ruins of the Spanish mission church and learn about the rich Pueblo culture that existed there for hundreds of years.
