It was 9am when I finally got the rental car. I had been traveling for some...

I tried to avoid thinking of that, but in all honesty had to make a couple stops to make sure I...

    Would you tick this sighting of a Little Bittern ?

    For me just seeing the bird isn't enough I always challenge myself to only count those I positively ID. Kind of why I never hire guides or go on bird walks looking for lifers

    Your Most Recent "Life" Bird

    My latest was a Rose breasted Grosbeak, not very rare for many in the states, but in Arizona where I am from we have only had a handle of sightings in the last 10 years. Of all places it was at a backyard feeder too!

    Birding Mt. Lemmon – Rose Canyon Lake

I often see sightings on lists for many birds I need at Rose Canyon Lake which helped to justify the $9 entrance fee. The Rose Canyon Lake entrance is a left hand turn about 5 miles north of the...
