A day of driving and birding March 17, 2008
We saw many birds including Pyrrhuloxias!! They never stayed put long enough to get a photo.

I wish I knew if these were two species of Prickly pear or one dead and one live. I looked it up. Opuntia santa-rita aka Santa Rita prickly pear is purple.

That was such a fun trip. All the black-throated sparrows we saw and all the zone-tailed hawks we missed. It was gorgeous.
