Arizona

We were excited to be in Southeastern Arizona. Terry got on line and saw that there was a lot of birding to be done. We stopped in Wilcox where there was a pond that was part of their water reclamation program. We saw several birds there. Some we had already seen, like-- blue heron, ruddy duck and avocet. We were able to add a short-billed dowitcher, wilson's phalarope and western meadowlark. The meadowlark has such a beautiful song and was very fun to listen to.--- Further into our stay in the area we stopped in Sonoita, AZ. There is not much of a town, but we stopped at the rest area there. We were able to see a say's phoebe, cassin's kingbird and a western kingbird. I always get SO excited when we see new birds. When things don't seem to be going really well anywhere else, seeing new birds sure makes me feel better!!
