I don’t feel that we have exhausted the possibilities here in Arizona, but they are one here, one there, and spread all over that state. We are squeezing out one more road trip, leaving Arizona and heading towards Texas.

One of the great things about living in southern Arizona is our proximity to Mexico. A common local resident when we were in Mexico, the Costa’s Hummingbird is a little bit more of a rarity here in Arizona.

Now that Jeanne and I have settled here in Tucson, Arizona, we have been questioned by our friends dozens of times….Why 10 countries, over 1300 bird species, and now I have limited my various twitches to just one county, Pima, which pretty much surrounds the greater Tucson Arizona. When it comes to pure birding, SE Arizona is truly an amazement. The lure of many other countries still calls to me, but the birds of Southeast Arizona have captured my heart.

But at one ski resort in Arizona, eating the snow may not be a good idea.

Some of us remember scooping up a cold mouthful of new-fallen snow.

Now that we have “settled” in Tucson, Arizona, or at least this is where the 5th Wheel is for the time being, it has been nice to be able to spread out a bit. Now that we have been in sunny, dry Arizona, it has rained 5 of the last seven days. Later in the week we finally got a break in the rain, and made an early morning run to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. They have a large walk in aviary with the local birds of the Sonora, and Southern Arizona areas.

Birding Arizona Cactus Wren Sonoran Desert The internet appears to have nearly as many people getting caught up with Cholla Cacti as it has cute kittens doing funny stuff. It almost qualifies as a genre in itself. Now this is only a personal suspicion, but I reckon that the birds of the Sonoran Desert have set up candid cameras and are getting their Youtube footage by enticing birders close enough to the cholla bushes for the spiked fruit to make the leap onto their innocent carriers.
