With Spring in Southern Arizona come birds of all kinds. Some just passing through on their way North; some arrive and hang out for the summer. The Tucson Audubon Society is doing their annual bird count for the next month. They count birds in over 800 locations in Southern Arizona. Although too early to tell, I suspect the count will be a little shy of what it typically is. I think the 1 million acres that burned last year destroyed a number of birds. Plus typically high birding spots burned, and although are recovering nicely may impact this years count. Nonetheless, there are still lots of birds to be found.
A very quick trip to the San Pedro River yielded good results. I suspect had I been able to spend more time, would have provided excellent results. Here are just of few photos from Tuesdays trip:
