Perched outside a nest in Garden Canyon.

A rare summer resident of the higher mountain canyons, this bird was seen periodically coming to feeders at Beatty's Guest Ranch in Miller Canyon, outside Sierra Vista.

Perched up in the wind at Patagonia Lake.

High in the canopy in Madera Canyon. This bird was paired up with a female Western Tanager, which was on a nest.

Several seen in Madera Canyon.

One of several in Kino Springs around the golf course clubhouse. It has a brighter yellow breast and belly and a more notched tail than the Cassin's Kingbird.

Seen with several Tropical Kingbird's on the Kino Springs golf clubhouse grounds. Note the dark gray breast and squared off tail feathers compared to the Tropical.

Seen in several locations-this one is at the Kino Springs golf clubhouse.

Waiting it's turn for another visit to the feeders at Beatty's.

I initially thought this was a Magnificent Hummingbird (f). It looks like there is some blue on the throat of this bird. For those who are more knowledgeable, could this be a Blue-throated Hummingbird? It is At Beatty's Guest Ranch in Miller Canyon.

Showing off its gorget.

Female seen at Ash Canyon B & B feeders. A rare to casual visitor to the area.

Six species of Hummingbird's (including the White-eared) were flying to and from the feeders. There were many nore feeders to choose from than this. It was a great place to just sit and study the plumages.

I know, it could be anything from this picture. It's a lifer, trust me! Seen in Sierra Vista.

Poor quality photo. We thought we would see more of these noisy birds, but we didn't. These were in Carr Canyon.

Just a poor documentary shot of a pretty bird.

Seen in Carr Canyon in the Reef Campground.

Look closely at the nest with the bird in between the broken snags.

The best bird of the trip! A gorgeous species seen in Garden Canyon. Sat here for a while allowing us to photograph it, but the light and angle weren't the best. Who's complaining though!

A well deserved rest at the San Pedro River. He helped me to see 130 birds and 24 lifers on this trip!
