We are an active group of homeowners who enjoy various activities in and around Green Valley, but every once and a while we enjoy getting together to catch up with one another - especially to celebrate holidays!

Our "Neighborhood Socials" give us an excuse to eat, drink and be merry together!

One of our homeowners is Susan Hershey – a tremendously talented photographer who was recently featured in the Green Valley News!

Susan's article featured several stunning photos of some of our neighborhood's beautiful birds.

Anna’s hummingbirds: These are the most common hummingbirds we have in Arizona, particularly in Tucson and Green Valley. Males can be identified by their vivid, hot pink head and their year-round singing, a dry, scratchy, buzzy sound.

Black-chinned hummingbirds: Mostly seen here during breeding season from March to October, they are most easily recognized by their “priest’s collar” — a white band just below their iridescent black and purple gorget (throat patch).

Broad-billed hummingbirds: Very common, especially in Green Valley, these are one of the most beautiful, although their less-than-exciting name doesn’t do them justice. They have a metallic green body, a sapphire blue throat and a two-tone, orange and black bill. (male shown)

Costa’s hummingbirds: Small and compact, this little nugget boasts vivid purple gorget and crown feathers, and is often less skittish than other hummingbird species. They are also recognized by their plump profile.

Magnificent or Rivoli’s hummingbird: Often called our gentle giant, the formerly-named magnificent, now called the Rivoli hummingbird, is the country’s second-largest hummingbird and is most commonly seen at feeders in Madera Canyon. These are a mostly dark green bird that have a purple crown and a blue-green throat.
