Unlike Morning Doves, many other bird nests are difficult to find. I suspect that's nature's way of trying to protect birds when they or their chicks are most vulnerable. Canada Geese range through most of North America -- although rarely in Southern Arizona. They breed in Canada and the Northern US. The Common Loon, also called the Great Northern Loon, spends its summers in inland Canada and Alaska, and winters on both coasts of North America. They can occasionally be seen during migration in the inland US on their way to the coast. Sandhill Cranes winter here in Southern Arizona. Right now there are probably 40,000 in the Whitewater Draw area. However they breed in the north, mostly Canada but also in the Rockies. They typically breed in open marshes or wetlands -- which is where I found the one below.
