S.E.Arizona (16)

Last full day. What to do?

After my epic BIG DAY early doors I concentrated most of my efforts two-fold. Firstly, to try and see as many of the other rare/special birds present in the area and secondly to try and increase my Arizona list.

Horned (Shore) Lark is fairly common but I still hadn't seen one, so we made another trip...


I managed to find one eventually but the highlight of the morning came in the form of Scott's Oriole. I enjoyed prolonged if fairly distant views of a continually singing bird...




It was great to see this enigmatic bird in it's natural environment rather than coming to a feeder. Definitely one of the highlights of the trip.


Last day write up to come then a summary of the trip...
