Did you know that there is a duck that dives deeper than 200', the deepest
of any duck, and has three plumages every year? And it shows up in Arizona
most every winter. It is the Long-tailed Duck, and you can read about this
species in the December 'species of the month'

in *Arizona Birds*, the online journal of the Arizona Field Ornithologists.

Also, you may not have known that the fast-running Greater Roadrunner can
be prey for Swainson's Hawk. A newly posted article

in *Arizona
Birds* documents the first reported instance of this predation.
