At 4:35 PM there was a Western Grebe on the 13th hole pond as viewed from Linda Vista Blvd. (Scope required) Also present were 22 Bufflehead, 50 coots, a couple Green-winged Teal, and a few Northern Shovelers. The 9th hole pond had a hen Canvasback, a drake Ring-necked Duck, a Neotropic Cormorant, two Eared Grebes, a pair of Cinnamon Teal and numbers of shovelers and Ruddy Ducks. 7th hole pond had a Sora calling. Yesterday about 5PM there were 16 Bronzed Cowbirds mixed with the hundreds of GT Grackles and European Starlings. A Northern Harrier caused a ruckus on the 9th hole pond, without success.

Hi, birders, Nice weather brought out 20 birders to walk the Sierra Vista EOP dikes, with visitors from SD and WI. Group tally at the end of the morning was 72 species. Highlights included: immature Snow Goose, 5 Wilson's Snipe (with one making big circular flight laps around the group), 3 Rufous-winged Sparrow, Swamp Sparrow, and a few Lawrence's Goldfinches. Sparrows proved difficult to share this morning, perching for only a few seconds before flying off, or down into the abundant weeds. That meant the Swamp, Brewer's, and Rufous-winged Sparrows in particular were seen by only a few people. We had better luck with the Lawrence's Goldfinches that were with a group of Lesser Goldfinches in the mesquites edging the Moson Road dikes, but again it was hard to keep them in view as they kept moving from perch to perch. Luckily, a dapper Black-throated Sparrow sat up for a long spell, giving good scope views to most of the group. As usual there were plenty of Yellow-headed Blackbirds in flight and in the main impoundments atop the cattails. At Moson Road one impoundment had hundreds of ducks, mostly Green-winged Teal and Am. Wigeon. Cheers, Erika Wilson -- Erika Wilson, Sierra Vista, AZ Home Page: https://list.arizona.edu/sympa/info/aznmbirds To unsubscribe use the Unsubscribe button on that page.

Hi Birders, Molly and I and others looked for the thrush this morning w/o success. None of those who have eBirded from there so far today have reported it. The adjacent golf course and residential gardens offer a lot of similar habitat for it so it may be spending its time nearby yet be undetected.

This morning (17 Nov.) many birders had excellent views of the two rarities that Melanie Herring discovered this week at Lake Pleasant on the Maricopa and Yavapai Co. border. The Iceland Gull was incredibly tame for the many present later in the morning east of the 10-lane boat ramp. The Red-necked Grebe in Yavapai Co. , was pretty far up the Castle Creek arm of the Lake (north and west of the parking lot). Hope to see you in the field...

10:30 this morning I had great looks at a male Olive Warbler. He was loosely foraging with a group of Kinglets and Bridled Tit mice.

Hi birders, I realize that American Crow isn’t the most exciting headliner in Arizona, but there may be something up with American Crow (AMCR) numbers up in the Flagstaff area. I just checked a few lakes and golf course ponds in the Continental Country Club area near Butler Ave & Mt. Pleasant Dr. this morning and found a flock of at least 300 AMCR at one set of ponds. The previous high count in eBird for AMCR in Coconino County is 210, and the all-time eBird high count for Arizona is 245. I know that there are higher tallies for the state that haven’t been put into the eBird database, but the numbers here in Flagstaff right now have me thinking that there may be some local or regional movement underway. If they were to show up in SE AZ, I’d think that the s. Sulphur Springs Valley might be a good place to check - I’ve seen 100’s there a couple of times over many years during more significant movements of AMCR in the state. Just something to keep in the back of your minds while you’re out there birding. Good birding, Dave Stejskal Field Guides Inc.

Good Morning, Birders. On our walk in Fort Lowell Park this morning, we found the/a "storm wigeon" on the pond. Presumably, this may be the same male we've seen for 5 winters now? At any rate, it is a striking bird, although sometimes difficult to pick out when the wigeon flock increases. Jim has not seen the Western Grebe all week, so it has probably moved on to a larger body of water. It was fun having it stick around there for so long. Good birding!

I concluded several years ago that there are a lot more birds of each species out there than we realize. There are vast areas of territory that are not birded at all. Many of the birds we think are rare may not be rare at all. I would urge people to think in those terms, and find new places to explore. And the more of us out there, the better. With eBird, and this list, it is much easier to cover lots of territory and make it known what we have found. I don't think I would have half the species on my life list that I have, were it not for these resources. We should also keep in mind that some species are very, very shy, and quickly learn to avoid areas where there are people. We have no idea how many birds of these species are in the area.

Date: 11/15/18 2:50 pm From: Tim Helentjaris <tnhelentjaris...> Subject: [AZNMbirds] northern Altar Valley
At the AZFO meeting a couple of weeks ago, I heard a talk summarizing the status of Ferruginous Pygmy-Owls in SE AZ, the point that stunned me being that a 2017 survey of Pima county lands in the northern Altar Valley had found ~20 territories, 17 of them previously unknown. Wow, that is an amazing number this close to Tucson! I had thought the only reliable territories were in the distant Organ Pipe NM. Since my only experience birding in the Altar Valley is down south at Brown Canyon and Buenos Aires NWR, I decided I had to do some more investigating of this area. Spending a lot of time on Google Earth and the web, I found that the majority landholder in the valley is state trust lands with BLM, private lands, and country lands far behind. I laid out a plan to explore access to this area and headed down a couple of weeks ago. Spent the whole morning just trying to figure how to get in, get around, and where the most likely habitats were to be found. Taking SR86 past Three Points, I turned south on Hayhook Ranch Road and drove around the private ranchettes in this area, looking to get close to the flanks of the Coyote Mountains. Got stopped from going as far south as I wanted, so I back-tracked and then turned south on SR286. I turned in at the King’s Anvil Ranch, signed in at the state trust land book and headed south and west. Driving across a lot of the state trust lands, I didn’t find the kind of habitats I was looking for (i.e. no saguaros) until I had gotten all the way west to the south and then east flanks of the Coyote Mountains. By then the morning was gone and I decided to try again later, waiting a while for the numerous deer hunters to thin out a bit. This morning I returned with Olya Phillips and Matt Griffiths from Tucson Audubon. We drove in through the Anvil Ranch and headed west to the Coyote Mountains. When we got to an area with our target habitat in mind, saguaros, lush upland desert habitat with grasses and 20% woody cover, plus a nearby drainage, we got out and began to look. It was surprisingly birdy in this area with the expected species for upland Sonoran Desert habitat plus a lot of sparrows, including BOTTERI’S SPARROW but also a somewhat anomalous AMERICAN ROBIN? Within 20 mins, we heard our target bird and after a short while got eyes on a very cooperative FERRUGINOUS PYGMY-OWL. While he flew a couple of more times, we were able to re-find it pretty readily and watched and photographed this bird for perhaps 40 mins or so. What a thrill to see the obvious eye-spots as he rotated his head around, keeping his eyes on the gently mobbing BLACK-TAILED GNATCATCHERS and a few other small birds. We decided to move on and did a little more searching west in the valley and then around to the north. By then the morning was getting on and warming up and while we did see some possible habitat, we didn’t have any luck finding additional owls. Wound around to the east and back out Anvil Ranch. Olya had remarked that she had never seen a caracara before. Started looking and as soon as we reached SR286, saw one across the road. Drove up a couple of dirt roads looking for it and on our way back, a CRESTED CARACARA zoomed in front of us in hot pursuit of a COMMON RAVEN. These two birds were in chase for several minutes with the caracara refusing to give up on the raven which appeared to be carrying some food. Had it stolen it from the caracara’s favorite cache? The whole time this was going on, the ravens’ partner watched from below, calmly chomping on some tidbit on a telephone pole, leaving its partner to get out of this dilemma. The caracara finally broke it off and flew nearby and landed, where we then saw another five caracara’s all lined up together in some nearby trees. What a treat, again, after some great photos, we took our leave. Great day, I am definitely planning to go back to this general area and do some more exploring to look for other similar habitats, as well as to try to get into the very scenic Coyote Mountains themselves and investigate some of those canyons and draws.

We re-found the Northern Shrike that was first reported yesterday by Chris Chappell in Embudito Canyon this morning, 11/15. It was seen to the left of the trail, not too far from the parking lot, near the new house that is being built. It flew into a cholla and perched for a while. Somewhat hard to see when sitting, but very obvious in flight. It has a brownish overall color typical of an immature bird, with a rather small black facial mask, and a white rump that stands out in flight. These birds can have a fairly large territory, so it may be covering lots of ground. We also had a (Slate-Colored) Fox Sparrow with a flock of White-crowneds further up the trail.

Dear birders, Some of you may have noticed I posted a Red Phalarope on eBird for the Hidden Cove Golf Course in Holbrook, Navajo County. I originally posted it as a Wilson’s, but was informed by Eric Hough that Wilson’s would be extremely unlikely to be present in my area at this time, as would Red-necked. Further study of Sibley’s left me with the only possibility that it might possibly be a vagrant Red Phalarope, which Eric told me was, oddly enough, a bit more likely that either Wilson’s or Red-necked at this time and place. I have since gone back and changed my eBird report to read “phalarope sp.” since I only got a distant view and because of light conditions could not see much more than that the bird was indeed a phalarope, as exhibited by its small size and its “spinning” behavior while feeding. Here is the description I put in my eBird report: “Possible Red Phalarope. Strongly patterned on top of wings during flight. Small phalarope, brownish/rufous overall with long, bill that was heavier than that of a Wilson's or Red-necked Phalarope. Engaged in spinning behavior while foraging. Approximately 1/4 the size of nearby Mallards. Needs confirmation.” Unfortunately, I did not get a photo, as I was intent on getting to the next pond and hopefully locating the Tundra Swan reported the day before. I was unable to locate the swan. I’m writing this in case anyone is tempted to chase this bird. I would not recommend doing so. I’d like to see it confirmed by another birder, as Red Phalarope before I claim it as such. Red Phalarope would be a life bird for me, but I want to err on the side of caution.

11/13/18 This morning I did some exploring in Coolidge/Florence agricultural areas in Pinal Co. Early on I was surprised to find a flock of 22 MOUNTAIN PLOVERS. They were in a closely cut alfalfa field on the west side of Wheeler Rd. between Bartlett and Randolph roads in the Coolidge vicinity. This is the first time I have seen Mountain Plovers in the Coolidge area. This area was canvassed in the winters of 2011 and 2012 as part of the Mountain Plover survey that was coordinated in Arizona by Arizona Field Ornithologists but none were found. As far as I know no Mountain Plovers have been reported yet this fall at the Evergreen Turf sod farms in Stanfield and the Santa Cruz Flats.

Hi All, I have been watching a gull from the parking lot of 10 lane boat ramp. Which is on the Maricopa side of the lake. It is a young gull.The gull is more muted and consistent in plumage then what I'm used to with Herring gull...but these two gulls have tons of overlap. The bill is all black and seems smaller , head seems small and rounder than what I'm used to with Herring gull. Brown primaries have a pale edge. In flight, under wings appear pale.Took some photos that will have to be reviewed for hybrids and Herring.Just wanted to get the word out.Melanie HerringGoodyear, AZOut and about on my mobile...Home Page: https://list.arizona.edu/sympa/info/aznmbirds To unsubscribe use the Unsubscribe button on that page.

Hello All, Pinal County is working on a promotional video and is including a component centering around their birding opportunities. They will be filming tomorrow near Mammoth, AZ at 7B Ranch trails (map here: https://goo.gl/maps/8Q2pYUhhW272 <https://goo.gl/maps/8Q2pYUhhW272>). They need a few birders to come along and "be birding" while they film. No speaking roles required They are planning on working between 2:30 pm and 3:30 pm on Tuesday Nov 13 The 7B is a pretty cool place, it's a large, old-growth, mesquite bosque managed by the Nature Conservancy and is open to the public and has a very nice nature trail. This is what they want to feature on the video. It is also one of Tucson Audubon's Lucy's Warbler nestbox experiment locations so a good chance to get a good look at the experiment. If you want to join us and play the role of a birder please let me know or also feel free to just show up. I will be there but I think they want a small group of people. All you need is your binoculars and what you would normally wear while birding. Let's do our best to support Pinal County while they try to convey how great southern Arizona is for birding. Such efforts raise the perceived value of preserving habitat as it's good for local economies. Birders mean business after all!

This afternoon there were 14 Great Egrets and two Snowy Egrets in the west end lagoon at the El Rio open space preserve. There were a few Gadwall, a Green-winged Teal, Mallards and coots. A female Northern Harrier flew in low. Also noted: a Harris’s, Sharp-shinned, Cooper’s, 2 Red-tailed Hawks. Found a few land birds: White-crowned and Lark Sparrows, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Verdin, Gila Woodpecker, Mourning Doves.

Green-tailed was seen at the front, under the tree next to the entrance, Spotted was seen for the first time in three years in the Sundial Plaza, in front and to the left of the Exhibit House, and Abert's were pretty much all over the place. We saw 16 other species, including broad-billed hummingbird (today in the ethno garden, but they have been seen recently also near the front and near the Riparian Area; ladderback woodpecker (often observed along the North Trail); and most of the usual suspects.

Five local birders walked around the Sierra Vista EOP this brisk morning. Our final total was 67 species identified, on par with last week's total. We totaled 12 species of ducks/geese(including Mexican as a separate species), and three-quarters of them were in the Moson Road ponds. Highlights included: One Snow Goose, hidden in the weeds. A flock of ducks that included 100 American Wigeon. 150 Green-winged Teal, with at least 75 in the same flock as the Wigeon. An excellent look at a Sharp-shinned Hawk as it attempted to catch a sparrow. It flew right by us, and perched in a mesquite 20 feet away when it was unsuccessful. A flock of 15 Cassin's Kingbirds. 2 Black-tailed Gnatcatchers - a good bird for the EOP. And more than 200 Yellow-headed Blackbirds.

Date: 11/11/18 2:17 pm From: Richard Fray <rpfray...> Subject: [AZNMbirds] SE AZ: Introducing Rancho Santa Cruz; Northern Parula; old Becard nest;
Jennie MacFarland, Larry Norris, Scott Crabtree and I led a very well attended field trip (46 participants!) for Tucson Audubon yesterday morning to Rancho Santa Cruz in Tumacacori. This is a property along the Santa Cruz River to the south of Santa Gertrudis Lane, just south of where the Sinaloa Wren, Rufous-backed Robins, etc. were last winter. The ranch owns and manages 130 acres of prime riparian corridor. The Anza Trail passes through the property, and there are additional trails managed by the ranch. For 25+ years the ranch was derelict, but after three years of painstaking renovations, the owners have restored it to its former glory and opened it as a charming, very reasonably priced, birder-friendly B&B. Please see http://ranchosantacruz.us/ for more information. The owners have said that birders are welcome to visit the property for birding. Signs and a donation box will be forthcoming; for now, please park away from the buildings to the right, and take the trail behind the buildings to access the riparian habitat, following either RSC or Anza Trail signs. Access is via the I-19 Frontage Rd, 1.1 miles southeast of Santa Gertrudis Lane (I-19 exit 29) or 1.5 miles northwest of Palo Parado Rd in Rio Rico (I-19 exit 25). Look for it as a new eBird Hotspot: “Rancho Santa Cruz”. One of the things I was specifically on the lookout for yesterday was any evidence of ROSE-THROATED BECARDS as this is fairly close to the current breeding population and looks as good a piece of habitat as any. To my delight, we found that evidence – not a bird, but an old Rose-throated Becard nest hanging from a cottonwood next to the Anza Trail, roughly midway between Santa Gertrudis Lane and Palo Parado Rd (1.5 miles from each) at GPS: 31.545989,-111.037662. Kudos to Mary Bradley for originally pointing it out. Photos on eBird: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S49831147 Nearby, Larry Norris expertly picked out a NORTHERN PARULA from a moving flock at GPS: 31.545989,-111.037662, and other highlights included WHITE-WINGED, INCA, and COMMON GROUND-DOVES, BROAD-BILLED HUMMINGBIRD, HAMMOND’S FLYCATCHER, CASSIN’S KINGBIRD, a large flock of CHIHUAHUAN RAVENS overhead, PLUMBEOUS VIREO, and BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER. I briefly visited the ranch a couple of times late summer and found some of the expected breeding species, including Tropical Kingbird, Varied Bunting, Gray Hawk, and Northern Beardless-Tyrannulet. Anything you might find at the other hotspots in Tubac and Tumacacori, you could expect to find here too, including the great potential for rarities. This is a fabulous, important chunk of prime riparian habitat in private ownership. The owners know very little about birding or birders, but have reached out to the birding community to grant us access to bird here and use their excellent B&B facilities. We have a unique opportunity to repay their kindness by finding good birds, reporting them, using the B&B, and reinforcing the value of this habitat to us, and to the wildlife that depends on it.

I found A vocalizing WINTER WREN in the canal at the NMSU Leyendecker Plant Science Center (south of Mesilla, NM). The canal runs North-South and one can park next to the canal at the Plant Science Center. From here the bird was working along a 25 yard stretch of the canal from the center northward. It was most seen in the portion of canal directly across from the small grove of young Pecan trees (where an immature Vermilion Flycatcher was also hanging out). I initially heard the wren giving its diagnostic "timp" call notes, often doubled, and managed to see it several times and get photos. I believe this is the first report of a Winter Wren in Dona Ana County since 2015. Also of note, I heard second-hand that a White-tailed Kite had been seen at Mesilla Valley Bosque SP earlier this week. It has not been seen since (including today), but there are a lot of fields in the area that it could be hunting if it is still around. The species has shown up at MVBSP in the past and it is worth keeping an eye out.

Date: 11/8/18 2:47 pm From: Tim Helentjaris <tnhelentjaris...> Subject: [AZNMbirds] San Rafael Grasslands
A challenging day for a field trip leader, but helped by the enthusiasm from the attendees on this Tucson Audubon field trip to the San Rafael Grasslands as an early winter scouting mission. Had thought that since I had such good luck at the Curly Horse Road entrance to Las Cienegas NWA a couple of weeks ago, we would head down there and work on sparrows. But, they were no where to be found? Got down before dawn and waited at the northwest entrance, hoping to see a Short-eared Owl, but he was a no-show, just a couple of NORTHERN HARRIERS and COMMON RAVENS off in the distance. But, as always, it was a beautiful dawn and no one was disappointed. BTW, Jennie MacFarland passed me some information that the road to Bog Hole is no longer open, having been closed along the way by a landowner, so for now this area is no longer accessible, major bummer. After quickly checking the tank to the south, empty except for the first of many AMERICAN KESTRELS along the lines to the west, we headed east along the main road. Was looking for sparrows on the fences but none were to be found anywhere? Whereas last year I had seen both Baird’s and Grasshopper just ~200 yds from the northwest entrance, we essentially saw none all the way to the Vaca Corral? I guess what I noticed here that was different this year was that the grass was grazed to the ground along both sides of the fence and there was no where for sparrows along here to hide, perhaps precluding them from this usually productive area? But then this trend continued for most of the morning through the valley, so perhaps a little early for sparrows here or maybe another bad year in general for them in the valley? We’ll have to wait and see. We did pick up one of our best-birds-of-the-day along the fence here, a very cooperative and first of two MERLINS that sat on the fence and allowed us to admire him through the scopes for as long as we wanted. Turned and headed further south towards the border and Lochiel, stopping first at the Lazy J2 Ranch, meeting a nearby neighbor, Harriet, and her three somewhat friendly dogs. Harriet was exceptionally welcoming and fun to talk with. Didn’t pick up too much here but Karen Vandergrift began her efforts to spot the first of five WHITE-TAILED KITES way off in the distance, a trend that continued all morning. Heading west in that direction along a side road, we did get much closer views of one of these kites perched on a pole and chomping on something. What a beautiful bird. Continuing south and realizing that the morning was not going to be an exceptional birding opportunity, we took them when we could but headed for Lochiel with the intention of returning back up Harshaw Road in the Patagonia Mountains, since several folks had never been to this area. Stopped first at the De Niza monument for a required history lesson (look it up if you don’t know what I’m talking about here). Saw just a few interesting birds along this route, including some bright WESTERN BLUEBIRDS. Then back into Patagonia and lunch at the Paton’s, but birding here had also quieted down and we were unable to find the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker that had just been seen earlier along with the Violet-crowned Hummingbird. But as always fantastic weather and scenery and the Merlins and kites were well worth it.

Hi Birders, It's a long drive out to Alamo Lake State Park in La Paz / Mohave counties. Really remote, but that is part of the reason I like it so much. I can typically get nice sound recordings out there. Although the lake this time of year is visited more heavily by anglers and off road vehicles. Today I birded by kayak and had a Great Horned Owl tooting as I sliced through the water before dawn. Numerous Western Grebes and a hand-full of Clark's Grebes can be found all throughout the lake. I wish I could get an accurate count but it's tricky. The highlights were in the Pelican department. Two BROWN PELICAN frequented the east end of the lake. Photos in eBird pretty soon. The other highlight was locating two tagged American White Pelican. I will send tag data into the banding lab. I always hope for gulls at these big lakes this time of year, but only had 5 Ring-billed Gulls. I also had a Sagebrush Sparrow on the drive in. I don't see these birds every year and never know where I should expect them. So it was a highlight for me.

While visiting family, we stopped at the San Pedro House for a walk. It was rather quiet around the gift shop but as we got near the stream, things picked up slightly. It was in the afternoon so things were a bit more quiet. However, I found a Louisiana Waterthrush at the underpass bobbing around near the stream. This bird was in the same general vicinity as the other 2 last year and earlier this year. Head towards the area where the highway crosses the river and head north along the trail scanning along the “shore”/mud banks and stream. Bird was skittish and hung out in the shrubs near the stream. Good birding all. Chris Rohrer Sent from my iPhone Home Page: https://list.arizona.edu/sympa/info/aznmbirds To unsubscribe use the Unsubscribe button on that page.

Hi, birders, Today's walk started at 8 a.m., an hour later than the past 8 months, and it showed in two ways: 1) a large turnout of birders (20 altogether. 2) less activity and fewer vocalizations from land birds. Most of the birders were locals, but we also had visitors from elsewhere in AZ, SD, TX, and Thailand. The group tally at the end of the morning was 66 species. Behavioral highlight today was watching a Peregrine Falcon in pursuit of a Redhead, with the duck successfully evading the attack. The Redhead was the first of the winter season, as were a Canvasback and several Lesser Scaup, bringing the waterfowl count today to 13 species. One Moson Road impoundment held a flock of 200+ Am. Wigeon, plus small numbers of Gadwall, N. Pintail, Mallard, Mexican Duck, and Green-winged Teal. For the fourth week in a row, Rufous-winged Sparrows were found at the EOP. This morning's two birds were in the mesquites along the driveway near the gate, found before 8 a.m. Nine other species of sparrows and towhees were tallied. A lingering Lazuli Bunting was noted, and at least five Cassin's Kingbirds were still around. Both Sora and Virginia Rail were heard, but not seen today.

Today, 4 Nov 2018, Rich Aracil, Lauren Harter and I birded Lake Havasu, the Bill Williams Arm of Lake Havasu and Parker Dam. Not much going on around Lake Havasu City but 116 Canvasbacks at the north end of Lake Havasu was a good count for the date. Scanning from the Bill Williams River NWR HQ the ducks sure had moved in, Rich spotted an immature/female BLACK SCOTER in with 700 Scaup (~150 Greater, ~450 Lesser and 100 spuhs, note that ONLY Greater winter in numbers at this location now and these Lessers were likely migrants heading south). We also had 5 Barrow's and 2 Common Goldeneye, a few Horned Grebes, 5 Herring Gulls and a smattering of the winter diving ducks. Below Parker Dam in both states, I found another immature/female BLACK and an immature/female SURF SCOTER. Good birding.

6,500 ft., Ponderosa-Gambel Oak habitat northwest of Prescott. We were still getting out of the car when I heard it first - thought for a second some other bird was doing a pretty good TBKI - then it flew atop a ponderosa snag 60 ft. out in front of us, calling. It sat for 30 seconds before it flew to another nearby snag then sailed off down the ridge calling, never to return. We searched for it for the rest of the day - about 7 hours. Never did get a photo.

The five birders on the weekly Sunday Sierra Vista Environmental Operations Park (EOP) Birding Walk observed 71 species of birds this morning. Most notable were the changes in species composition and numbers associated with the change of seasons. On the increase were ducks with nine species, sparrows with 12 species, and large numbers of blackbirds. On the decrease were flycatchers (other than Say’s Phoebes) and no swallows at all. Notable was the influx of Northern Flickers (6), American Pipits (12), and Eastern and Western Meadowlarks (13). For the second week in a row, Rufous-winged Sparrows were noted in the mesquites near the recharge ponds, and a late Botteri’s Sparrow was carefully observed in the same area. Note that starting next Sunday, the first Sunday in November, the weekly Sunday Sierra Vista EOP birding walks will BEGIN AT 8:00 a.m., not 7 a.m. Meet at the parking lot near the viewing platform.

Hi Birders: Following up Melody Kehl's post from yesterday, several Lawrence's Goldfinches were relocated this morning in Green Valley. Directions: At the corner of Continental and Whitehouse, turn right on Whitehouse; cross the railway tracks, and look for Campbell on your left. Turn left on Campbell and park just beyond the medical clinics. Where I found the birds this morning was about 400-500 yards north of those clinics in appropriate scrubby/weedy habitat. There is a rough road that runs through this area, but I walked. The goldfinches are with House Finches, and I also saw Say's Phoebe, Vermillion Flycatcher, a Cooper's Hawk, Phainopepla, Mourning Doves, and Audubon's Warbler. Up further in at the Santa Rita Lodge feeders, in Madera Canyon both the Blue throated and the Rivoli's Hummingbirds continue, although the former seems to be getting harder to see making infrequent visits to the feeders.

Bob, Mary Kay, and I, greeted by a charming Greater Roadrunner, birded this relaxing, yet stimulating, property today. Six species of hummers were buzzing about, including one immature Rufous or Allen's, one Black-chinned Hummingbird, and at least one Broad-tailed Hummingbird. Woodhouse’s Scrub-Jays were easily and well seen. Green-tailed Towhees are back, Rufous-winged Sparrows are resident, White-crowned Sparrows were singing, and Inca Doves were calling and seen even though the property is being squabbled over by Cooper’s Hawks. A magnificent Harris’s Hawk spent the morning sitting in obvious possession of one huge pine tree. I did not have time to sit and watch the fruited row of old pyracantha bushes, but since is is reminiscent of the row along Santa Gertrudis Lane, I am sure some fruit and brush loving birds spend time foraging there. Again, the property is full of stunning flowering plants for pollinators. WOW Arizona is located 8 miles north of Catalina State Park, has easy trails, abundant seating, restroom, etc. Contact to visit as numbers are limited to preserve the habitat and serene atmosphere.

I managed to relocate and photograph a male Lawrence's Goldfinch at Tellbrook Park where a small flock had been reported yesterday (October 24th) evening and shortly after noon today (October 25th). I saw a total of at least 3 individuals but I imagine there are more. I arrived at around 1:30 and over the course of an hour I heard them calling intermittently the entire time, however they were quite difficult to get an eye on. They seemed to be sticking to the dense elms/salt cedar in the center of the park but duos would fly off occasionally. There is no water source in this park but there are plenty of feeders in the surrounding neighborhood and this park is notorious for it's ability to attract unusual birds, so my suspicion is these may be more "chaseable" than the flyovers I have had the past few weeks at Mesilla or Leasburg State Parks.

Hi Birders, This morning the Greater Pewee was seen in trees south of the south pond. (That's where I saw it.) I see from eBird that later in the AM it was seen at it's better known location in the tall oak just west of the rose garden. There was another contopus, a Western Wood-pewee, in the olive trees near the SE corner of the south pond. (It was silent, so I can't guarantee that it wasn't an Eastern.)

The Snow Goose and Greater White-fronted Goose are still at Lakeside Park, along with a large flock of American Wigeons and Coots. I saw 2 Black-crowned Night-herons today, an adult and a juvenile. They've both learned to hang out by fishermen and wait for a handout, so it's easy to get close to them. The juvenile has been named "Buddy" by the fishermen. I noticed the adult (no name) has a significant amount of fishing line wound around its toes -- kind of looks like it's wearing huaraches. It doesn't seem to interfere with the bird's activities, but I wonder if an attempt should be made to remove it? Complete list of today's sightings is on eBird.

For those attending the meeting this weekend in Ajo- it is very green out there! It is going to be a great meeting. As of just now there are two remaining campsites in Alamo Canyon (it is a great spot but only has 4 sites). A gentleman in one of the spots says he is leaving Saturday. There are many more spots at the campground near the Visitor Center. Just a heads up, the midges/no-see-ums were biting pretty good in Alamo, you may want to bring bug spray if they bother you. And I saw a good sized rattlesnake after being at the campsite for less than five minutes, so they are still out and active.

Date: 10/24/18 11:38 am From: Tim Helentjaris <tnhelentjaris...> Subject: [AZNMbirds] Las Cienegas NCA & Curly Horse Road
This morning I headed to the Happy Valley-Paige Creek area. As I pulled off the freeway, I spotted a large fog bank to the north, perhaps an omen? Driving in, they had clearly gotten more rain recently that I had in Tucson. At the first crossing, a fair amount of water running across - no problem. At the second crossing - uh-oh, I’ve seen this movie before. A truck with two hunters in it was sunk in and not going anywhere. Another truck was there and they were already working with some straps to pull it out, so we got to it. Couple of broken attempts later, finally pulled them out. Decided I didn’t need that kind of adventure today, so Plan B? Decided to head down to Las Cienegas via Curly Horse Road and see what was in for the winter? At the gate as I was going in, I thought I heard flight calls for Chestnut-collared Longspurs, but could not get a visual? Made a note to check back on the way out. Road was pretty slippery, even CH Rd coming in. But the advantage of all of that moisture is that the sparrows tend to perch up more, making it easier to see and study them. Drove to the corral and tank (N31.71541 W110.60647) which has always been productive before and not disappointing again today. Not large numbers of sparrows but good variety. Most were SAVANNAH and VESPER SPARROWS, but I did get onto one sitting up with some yellow on the face and obvious white crown stripe - GRASSHOPPER SPARROW. And then I got several good looks through the scope at another bird, more subtle crown stripe but two obvious ocular spots - BAIRD’S SPARROW, my find of the day, and one that was here last year as well. On my way out then, I headed south at the gate and did eventually find a flock of ~15 CHESTNUT-COLLARED LONGSPURS, confirming my earlier suspicion and reports from the last couple of weeks. Somewhat off topic, I want to put in a plug for a book that I think a lot of subscribers might enjoy, Birds New to Science: Fifty Years of Avian Discoveries. Saw this in the TAS shop and picked it up, worried that it might be a little dry but the photos were great, so I thought I would give it a try. Has 1-2 page descriptions of the ~300 species newly described to science in the last 50 years, and not bothering to dwell on the splits/fusions, etc. It begins with an excellent introduction to the whole species definition, something I found useful. Then there are some tables showing where and when they were found, do you know what one new species was found in NA and the US during that period? And heck, just reading through the names is exciting enough. But the descriptions have a lot of neat items in them. The short account of the discovery of each was probably the most appealing part for me, some of the accounts are really fascinating to read through. Characteristic descriptions, including voice and habitat, were also interesting. And lastly the naming descriptions were very intriguing, to see who was being honored and why, often in very generous accounts. It was poignant to see Ted Parker cited so many times. One aspect that I particularly appreciated was the allusion to how often indigenous peoples knew of the birds, had names for them, helped in their finding, and even contributed to the knowledge of their descriptions and nests, etc. For a few, live examples are only known via indigenous people. I guess for me, though I am unlikely to ever see any of these birds, after all they are often rare and restricted in their range, one can’t help but be impressed with the diversity of birds out there and their different life histories. A nice Xmas present for that birder who has everything.

Hi Birders: As other birders have reported, the Blue-throated Hummingbirds have " reappeared " at the Santa Rita Lodge Feeders in Madera Canyon. I took a visiting birder up there this morning, and they appeared on a fairly consistent basis. They obviously never left, just didn't make themselves apparent to me and other birders the last time I checked last Thursday morning. Also around were the other birds being regularly reported from the site; Rivoli's, Broad billed, Broad tailed, Rufous, and Anna's Hummingbirds. In the time I was there, I didn't notice a Calliope or Black chinned. Other noticeable birds included Hepatic Tanager, and Arizona Woodpecker amongst the other regulars. The brilliant Red naped Sapsucker continues to patronize the area by the Pyracantha bushes at the Western or bottom end of the main feeder area. On the walk up from Proctor, we didn't see any Black capped Gnatcatchers, ( not for lack of trying ), or trogons. Cheers, Thor Thor Manson Green Valley.

Many thanks to the birders from AZ/NM who send their reports to this list. You are doing a great service to the birders whose main focus is to enjoy their sightings, discover new birding locations, and bask in the joy of birding. Your reports help them find wondrous birds they might not otherwise see and make them feel that there is actually a community of birders “out there” who also value sharing these fascinating creatures. For many reasons, there are birders who will not post their sightings to eBird….many do not even know about this service or are intimidated by it.

Kate and I spent Friday (2:00-5:30pm) and Saturday (6:00am-1:00pm) searching for the Ringed Kingfisher in the vicinity of Roper Lake State Park near Safford. High winds made birding difficult. At 10:10am we heard the kingfisher calling and quickly found it perched on the telephone lines, on the west side at the corner of Lebanon and Cactus roads. We had excellent views of this female, with a rufous belly and under tail coverts. The bird then flew downward, and east toward the pond (private property) across the street and disappeared from view. Our time at the sight was less than 10 minutes. The large number of birders and high frequency visits to this sight, have left the property owners upset, who feel that their privacy has been compromised. Certainly, birders have the right to use the public roads and foot paths adjacent to this property. But we suggest that birders use discretion, be mindful of the owners concerns, and don't linger if you are lucky enough to find Arizona's first RK at this sight.

Hi folks, The sun finally came out today (Sunday) after a week or so of overcast, rainy and cold weather here in Portal. We had a fair number of sparrows this morning along Foothills Road above the feeder area including Lincoln's, Vesper, Brewer's, Chipping, White-crowned and a Clay-colored. A large flock of 100 or more Lark Buntings also flew by which seemed a bit unusual for our area. We've also been seeing four species of towhee at the public feeders lately but had only three today. No Abert's today. And, Crissal Thrashers have been fairly conspicuous in the general area lately. A week or so ago we also had two Sage Thrashers near the feeder area. In the late morning today we drove to Willow Tank to check it out. There was little water in the tank and few birds. We did, however, find a Brown Thrasher in the shrubby area between the south side of the tank and the road. All for now.

Hello Birders, This morning I was surprised to spot a low elevation Cassin's Finch while scanning a large flock of House Finches feeding on the grass at Northsight Park in Scottsdale. I wasn't sure if it might have been a Purple Finch until I later heard two calling their distinctive "chi-dil-lip" from a tree top, one even giving a good vireo-like imitation. The birds were very skittish and moved around the park's grassy areas constantly, always hanging with the House Finches and Chipping Sparrow, etc. Other nice birds at the park today were Western Kingbird, Western Wood-Pewee, flyover Acorn Woodpecker, and Myrtle Warbler.

Dave Pearson, Mark Ochs, and I led the morning bird walks at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum today under breezy conditions. My group had a much too brief encounter with a PHILADELPHIA VIREO on the south-side of the Main Trail between the palm grove and the Herb Garden. It flew in fairly close, quickly identified, and it left before most others even had a chance to pick it up in their binoculars. It was a pretty bright individual with key ID features noted such as on the underparts, it was brightest yellow on the lower throat and upper breast region; it had dark lores and shorter tail and bill giving it a rather stubby appearance. It could not be relocated with several lengthy searches, with some of us returning to search after the walk. Other vireo species were much in evidence today, with my group noting 3 PLUMBEOUS, 4 CASSIN'S, and a HUTTON'S. Other highlights included late lingering birds such as 2 WESTERN TANAGERS, 3 CASSIN'S KINGBIRDS, and a calling WESTERN WOOD-PEWEE and HAMMOND'S FLYCATCHER. Hope to see you in the field...
