Wildlife Field Notes Database

For years, the Department has published an article called "Wildlife Field Notes" in the Arizona Wildlife Views magazine. These one- or two-page fact sheets provide general natural history information about a specific Arizona wildlife species. They can serve as an excellent classroom or library resource.

New field notes will be added as each issue of the magazine is published. In addition, we have gone back in our archives and recovered most of these documents.

The downloads below are arranged by animal group. There are even some plants in the miscellaneous section. All PDFs are under 3mb.

Note: we have pulled every field note that we could find, some going back to the early 1980s. As such, some of the information may be outdated. We will update when and if new field notes become available. 

Updated through May/June 2025 issue.
