Had a lovely male Calliope Hummingbird yesterday (April 11, 2024) visiting salvia and penstemon blooms along the back porch in Flux Canyon, Patagonia, AZ. Also a male Black-chin, Anna's, and many Broadbills. Black-throated and Rufous-crowned Sparrows still coming in for seed and joined by two White-wing Doves (first of season). Also walked in Harshaw Creek Road canyon, where we saw a singing Painted Redstart and heard a Gray Hawk. Merlin app said it heard a Dusky-capped Flycatcher, but no sighting. Did see several Cassin's Kingbirds. Water flowing across road there.
A drive to Madera two days ago turned up no special birds, but the poppies, lupine, and tackstem were pretty on Box Canyon Road west of the waterfall.
