One of the mountain ranges just to the south of us is the Huachucas. It is home to one of the older Army forts. Fort Huachuca has a fascinating Military Museum displaying its history going back to 1876 and the "Buffalo Soldiers." For the next few days we'll share with you some of our experiences in these wonderful mountains. Maybe the best hummingbird spot in the United States is Miller Canyon, where you'll find Beatty's Orchard. Christine and I visited there three weeks ago and found (this might be hard to imagine) but over 100 hummingbirds, including three very rare (to the US) species: the Berrylline (above) and .... well, let's wait til tomorrow for the others.
