I try to combine a really great day of birding with a side subject or two, so that we all learn and take something away from the experience. Spaces are limited to ten, so book early.

Sandhill-Crane-Whitewater-Draw-030610-03The entire crane flock took to the air, honking like crazy, giving us a great aerial display. After a few minutes they settled down again, some of them a lot closer than previously. We headed back out to the viewing platform and got better views.

Red-naped-Sapsucker-Ft-Lowell-Park-022710-02I was showing Ed a line of sapsucker wells in a tree when a fine male Red-naped Sapsucker appeared to demonstrate. Several Western Bluebirds were in the next tree, as was a Yellow-rumped Warbler in almost full breeding plumage. We also found our second interesting nest, a Great Horned Owl hunkered down on a mess of twigs.

Rufous-capped-Warbler-Florida-Canyon-022110-25The gorgeous Rufous-capped Warbler burst into life, feeding excitedly and calling frequently. It ranged slightly upslope, and then came right down to investigate me and my camera. It was difficult through the forest of small branches but I was quite pleased with the results.
