Chiricahuas

A good birding day. The Chiricahua mountains. Worked our way up through Portal, South Fork of Cave Creek, Rustler Park, and Paradise. High desert to high mountains. Had three target birds, got two of them, the mexican chickadee and the yellow eyed junco. Identified fifty birds altogether, including a couple more new ones we didn't expect, the olive warbler, and blue throated hummingbird.

Great fun. We'll plan a trip back here some time for another try at the juniper titmouse.

Tomorrow… Silver City.
