Ash Canyon - November 12, 2024
It was a nice day at the bird sanctuary today, pleasant weather and some pleasant visitors. In particular, a couple from Ellsworth who have decided to "snowbird" in Sierra Vista. I think the quality of birding was the main reason they chose our area. It certainly wasn't to have a short trip. They brought back memories of the several times we stayed in or near Ellsworth on our trips to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. What a beautiful area they have.
