    It 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.

    I 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!
