Arizona Trip ~ February 9, 2008

After packing up, we drove to the airport and boarded our flight back to Philadelphia via Dallas. I tallied one 'lifer' and one 'ABA bird' among the 71 trip species. Babe got three new birds: the Jacana, the gnatcatcher, and the warbler, and is now only two short of 700. Maybe next trip.
