Christine and I had a day off so left early in the morning to do a hike and picnic in Garden Canyon (on the Fort Huachuca Post). We took back roads to get there, driving through the Cienega Creek Preserve, which is a wonderful birding area. Passing through we found several Tropical Kingbirds, and to our surprise a couple of Javelinas. Evidently the flooding had caused some damage to the already 4x4 only road in Garden Canyon, so the Sawmill Trail was inaccessible. However, we did picnic there under one of the covered picnic tables. Then it was off to Ramsey Canyon to hike. Nice hike, but it was rainy and cold so birding wasn't great. In fact, no hummingbirds at all. Still a great place to hike. Here are the photos from Cienega:
