Southeast Arizona

Trogons, Hummingbirds, Owls & Scenic Beauty

6 May 2011 - 15 May 2011, 10 days & 9 nights

We will spend ten glorious days amidst some of the most beautiful scenery in North America. We go from Santa Rita Lodge in Madera Canyon to Portal Peak Lodge in Cave Creek Canyon, with visits to California Gulch, Patagonia, Ramsey Canyon, Rustler Park, and the San Pedro River Valley. Local specialties include Elegant Trogon, Buff-breasted Flycatcher, Mexican Chickadee, Tropical Kingbird, Olive and Red-faced Warblers, and Gray Hawk. May is an excellent time for nightjars and owls; we will try to find as many as possible including Flammulated Owl and, the smallest owl in the world, Elf Owl. Migrant warblers are likely to include Hermit and MacGillivray's, while Lazuli Bunting and a variety of shorebirds can also be expected. We have an incredibly good record of finding Montezuma Quail and Five-striped Sparrow, and hopefully the Buff-collared Nightjars will return--they have been fairly reliable for the past several years. Twelve or more species of hummingbirds are likely now that White-eared has become regular in the Huachucas. And the Twin Lakes at Willcox will round out our tour with a fine variety of shorebirds, waterfowl, and other aquatic species. Bob Schutsky will lead the tour.

Southeastern Arizona

Hummingbirds, Trogons, Mexican Strays & Scenic Wonders

26 July 2011 - 4 August 2011, 12 days & 11 nights

We will spend twelve glorious days amidst some of the most beautiful scenery in North America. We go from Santa Rita Lodge in Madera Canyon to Portal Peak Lodge in Cave Creek Canyon, with visits to California Gulch, Patagonia, Ramsey Canyon, Rustler Park, and the San Pedro Riparian Area. Local specialties include Elegant Trogon, Buff-breasted Flycatcher, Mexican Chickadee, Tropical Kingbird, Red-faced Warbler, and Botteri's Sparrow. Late July gives us excellent opportunities for rare hummingbirds, singing sparrows, and Mexican strays. A few of the rarities found on our recent tours include Aztec Thrush, Rufous-capped Warbler, Flame-colored Tanager, Yellow Grosbeak, Berylline Hummingbird, Plain-capped Starthroat, Buff-collared Nightjar, Elegant Tern, Purple Gallinule, Western Gull, Reddish Egret, Brown Pelican, and Roseate Spoonbill,  WOW! TWELVE species of hummingbirds are likely; we have found 14 species on many of our July tours. Southeast Arizona can be quite warm in early July, but by late in the month there are afternoon showers that cool temperatures to a comfortable level. If it is hot in the desert and flatlands, we head for the canyons and mountains where daytime highs are in the 80s, nights are deliciously cool, and the birding is nothing short of spectacular! This 12-day tour gives us plenty of time to explore a few new areas, search for Virginia's Warbler and Mountain Chickadee, and chase down an extra rarity or two. Bob Schutsky is your scheduled tour leader.
