Back from Arizona

Just back from a good trip out to Arizona. Although it was not a strictly birding trip I had some very good luck nonetheless. Hit areas around Tucson, Mount Lemmon and Madera Canyon over the course of a week. I managed a total of 136 species with 20 of those life birds for me. The big highlights included Rufous-capped Warbler and Flame Colored Tanager. I will be posting some of my photos over the next few weeks.

Finger Lakes-New York

Just returned from a trip out to the Finger Lakes region of New York. It was not a birding trip but instead a get away for our anniversary. However I did manage a little birding at a variety of spots including Montazuma NWR, Tauhannock Falls State Park (where the photo was taken) and the fields and trails around our B&B. Nothing too unusual but it was nice to be out in a new area and have the weather sunny and warm. Now back to the rain at home!
