Christine gave me the day off yesterday so I headed down to the Chiricahua Mountains, crossing over the top and back down into Cave Creek. Still recovering from the fire and flooding of last summer, birds along the South Fork of Cave Creek were scarce. I thought maybe the Elegant Trogons might have arrived since it has been a very mild winter. Also thought maybe a bear might be out and about. But, no. However, as is often the case this beautiful area did not disappoint. Here are some photos from yesterday's trip:

Great finds. Looks like it was a beautiful day out and about. I'm in the garden today which is still fun....BUT...I'd rather be hiking and birding:)
