Southeast Arizona Trip ~ July 26, 2005

We stopped at the Beatty's "Controlled Access" site where an Arizona Woodpecker showed up next to the feeder that the White-eared Hummingbirds preferred.

We then continued a little farther up the mountain to the "Hawk Watch" site, which has another set of feeders .


There, we saw the previously reported Berylline X Magnificent Hummingbird hybrid.

A male Rufous Hummingbird was also present there.

We left Miller Canyon and made the long drive over to Portal, located at the base of the Chiricahua Mountains, where we spent the night at the Portal Lodge.
