Southeastern Arizona
May 8-17, 2010
A Golden Eagle snatching a rabbit from the desert. A Northern Beardless-Tyrannulet singing at point-blank range. A highly cooperative Spotted Owl. A dozen hummingbird species, including Berryline, Lucifer and White-eared. These were among the countless highlights from this classic trip to Southeastern Arizona. Oh, yeah -- we got great looks at Elegant Trogan as well. Here's the list. And here is another typical Arizona trip with yet more amazing images.
