San Pedro River

The San Pedro River shoots through Southern Arizona into Mexico between the Dragoon Mountains and the Huachuca Mountains. So, while fires were going on there and mountain ranges were closed the San Pedro River brought additional birders AND BIRDS. I came across several male Summer Tanagers, a couple of which were kind enough to pose for me. As is usually the case, there were many Vermillion Flycatchers, both male and female. I got a nice photo of a female.  It was hot and muggy (and fortunately I remembered to bring some bug spray along.)
