Yesterday, we headed out with some friends to go to Garden Canyon at Fort Huachuca. We arrived at the Main Gate only to find the gate closed for renovation, or construction of some kind. We decided to keep going another ten minutes to Ramsey Canyon, which our friends hadn't seen either. Ramsey Canyon is a delightful walk along the canyon creek. It's run by The Nature Conservancy. A few hummingbirds had arrived (they'll be in full force in another month or so). And, we saw some white tail deer -- typical of the area. But, the treat for the day was this Painted Redstart. Like warblers, they don't ever seem to stay still making photographing difficult at best. And since they are typically in trees eating ants or other insects from the trees there are usually leaves/branches in the way. However, from the 30 or so photos taken there were a couple that worked. Here's one of them: The Painted Redstart
