You could roast one of those turkeys for your birthday dinner and camp out but seriously, unfrequented canyons are great places to explore, rejuvenate one's soul and birdwatch in solitude. Just make sure someone knows where you are going and when you should be back or better still, have a like minded companion who knows when to be together and when to go it alone for a while.<br />Adored the rufous capped warbler, the owl and all the rest.Arijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03720793296992474762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-31576048794771744152014-08-19T18:29:49.996-07:002014-08-19T18:29:49.996-07:00Interesting and lovely series of photos.

Lowell base with a Canadian birder, we did not have any issues......and then! several were turned away last year at the entrance because the military base wasn't allowing any non-US citizen onto the Fort. It might have to do with the high alert status in the country. All I know is that there are two really amazing canyons on their base:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-63475509672914496262014-08-17T02:44:02.405-07:002014-08-17T02:44:02.405-07:00Great looking place - two days birding in Arizona ...Great looking place - two days birding in Arizona was just not enough.<br /><br />Cheers - Stewart M - MelbourneStewart Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622420206244603688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-26177992580485483142014-08-17T01:13:27.279-07:002014-08-17T01:13:27.279-07:00Those canyons sound amazing with such a rich diver...Those canyons sound amazing with such a rich diversity of wildlife, Chris - beautifully illustrated by yourself! I think that we Brits sometimes have difficulty in visualising how big the country is over there, but your account brings it all into perspective. I was surprised to hear of an area only accessible to US nationals. I don't know of any equivalents in UK.<br /><br />I hope your weekend is going well.

They way you describe them is perfect for a Common Raven. American Crows could also be present but a third of the size of a Common Raven and not as likely:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-18214850531409384702014-08-15T11:08:00.760-07:002014-08-15T11:08:00.760-07:00Love this great post, Chris!

We went to Madera after three years living here (FINALLY!) but there are so many other places I want to see! Can't wait!<br /><br />By the way, after reading your comment on my post with the ravens, I wondered if they were Common Ravens not American. I really can't tell. They were big and we saw them almost everywhere we went.
