Arriving in Tucson, AZ early in the day left a little time for birding, so we managed to
spend an afternoon at the Audubon Mason Center. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the Cactus
Wren there, but that came about a week later, which you'll see soon. This foray from April 19-May
3rd kept us on the run, sometimes rising as early as 0400 to get a jump on travel in order to be an
early birder for the early rising sun, which was at 0600 hrs. AZ does not use daylight saving time, which meant that we were usually awake two hours earlier than normal, and we were on Mountain
Time. Unfortunately, I was still on Oklahoma's daylight savings Central Time the entire trip.
The top photo of the Wilson's Warbler was at the Mason Center and the Gila Woodpecker was also seen there in the cactus scrublands.
The remaining photos were obtained on April 20th, when we drove nearly two hours south to Patagonia, which was in Santa Cruz County, where the remaining shots were taken.
There is much more to come, and I'll work on more photos tomorrow.
