New Mexico - Arizona - Colorado Trip ~ March 10, 2006

On the 10th, we started the day at Boyce Thompson Arboretum. Trip birds found there included Cooper's Hawk, Cactus and Canyon Wren, Phainopepla and, finally, Babe's 'life' Rufous-backed Robin.

We left Boyce Thompson and made the long drive to Gallup, New Mexico after being told by a secretary at the Gunnison office of the Colorado Division of Wildlife that grouse had been seen on the lek. Little did we know that, after many hours of driving and waiting, this information she gave us might have been incorrect.
