Birds of Madera Canyon 1

Posted on March 19, 2019 by Richard

We have had a few magical days of nice weather and wonderful hiking and birding and in a surprise, I’ve added 8 new birds to my life list.

This Arizona Woodpecker was new to us.
A Scott’s Oriole who showed up a few days ago.
One of the many Acorn Woodpeckers who cavort around, putting on quite a show.
This Rivoli’s Hummingbird was a life bird.
A Bewick’s Wren.
Broad-billed Hummers are common but not many pose in the sun like this.

Last night I saw two Elf Owls, who have just shown up, in an old telephone pole where they have nested for seven years. Lots of waiting, some calls, a quick look, and they were off in the dark to forage. And I had life bird 477.
