Note: All the above pictures were taken on a November 7th visit to Reid Park here in Tucson except for the last shot, which was taken in Madera Canyon while searching for the Red-breasted Sapsucker. I’ve just offloaded over 600 photos and will be cranking out blog posts as fast as I can process the photos and write them!

    1. Kathryn, it was fun to write and it all came together well. It was the shot of the heron in the rocks that inspired me.
