Howdee all,
Jeff and I spent our last day in Patagonia at the
Nature conservancy not far from the center of town.
Jeff hears and spots a singing Eastern Meadowlark
We bird along the creek
Lots of Robins around..taking baths in the creek…
Black Phoebe hunting for insects.
It was a beautiful, warm day. Trees were starting to leaf out..
Birding the meadow for sparrows
A Bridled titmouse check out this hole..
Vermillion flycatchers darting about catching bugs…
Lush green vegetation around the creek
we find a Lucys warbler in the low vegetation.
Warm sun glowing thru the trees….
We hike back the railroad bed trail 
A Cardinal…a bit different than the cardinals in the east..
We say goodbye to the Nature Conservancy…
And head over to Patons for one last look at
The Violet crowned hummer
And the Broad-billed
Until we meet again…. 
Glad you enjoyed your time there. Enjoyed the photo of tree and sun and the pretty birdie's.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a great time in Arizona Dawn. You got some great shots of the Vermilion Flycatcher and the hummers. I love that last photo of the Broad-billed Hummer from below with the sun lighting up its beak. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteI have begun digiscoping and will post some of my shots soon. Say hi to Jeff. I miss you guys and I'm glad to see you are getting more birders together as you travel about.
Happy birding!
....looks like another perfect birding day in your travels. What a cool place. Loved the shot of the little titmouse looking in the nesting cavity! ...and the Violet-crowned hummer is beautiful. I love that red bill!
