Deranged but fun...
My dad and I are going down to SE Arizona and would like a little help with locating some birds and possibly a hotel in Portal. We will be getting in late on the 25th and leaving late on the 1st of September and plan to do some hard core birding as we always do . We have been down to this area 4 times before, though we have never been over to the chiricahuas. A couple of the birds we have missed, well quite a few of them. Weevil failed on the Buff-breasted Flycatcher he promised over and over again, and I told him I would always remind him :king:
We will be staying in Green Valley, at a house of someone that my dad knows and will be spending one night in Portal so we can bird the Chiricahuas =)
So here are the lists (do not require to see them all, but would like to see as many as possible):
Montezuma Quail
Northern Bobwhite
Yellow-billed Cuckoo
Northern Pygmy-Owl
Flammulated Owl
Whiskered Screech-Owl
Buff-collared Nightjar
Whip-poor-will
Lesser Nighthawk
Berylline Hummingbird
Blue-throated Hummingbird
Greater Pewee
Dusky-capped Flycatcher
Thick-billed Kingbird
Juniper Titmouse
Mexican Chickadee
Sinaloa Wren (if still there)
Black-capped Gnatcatcher (if still there)
Brown-backed Solitaire (if still there)
Aztec Thrush (again, if still there)
Red-faced Warbler
Olive Warbler
Varied Bunting
Five-striped Sparrow
My dad added a few to the list:
Three-toed Woodpecker
American Black-backed Woodpecker
Le Conte's Thrasher
Brown Thrasher
Sage Thrasher
Virginia's Warbler
Flame-colored Tanager
Lawrence's Goldfinch
Allen's Hummingbird
Black Swift
... I think he just went down his list of what he has not seen... and added them at random xD (The two woodpeckers are not there, the LC thrasher I think is too far north and west. The other thrashers are not there either.... Black Swift is not there and I think the Tanager has not been reported for a a while. The goldfinch is there later... so of those I think only the warbler and the hummingbird are even present though the hummer is a MAJOR longshot and near impossible to ID... Just my thoughts =P)
I realize that this would require a lot of typing, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I have the "A Birder's Guide to Southeastern Arizona" by Richard Cachor Taylor, but also want other peoples help. Much appreciated, thank you! =)
