Ash Canyon - October 27, 2025
It was a beautiful morning in the canyon, and a nice variety of birds were present to share it. I really enjoyed seeing the Northern Flicker. Not only is it a beautiful bird, but it was my nemesis for many years. At one time, I felt that that I would never get a good photo of one. Now I have one coming to me and posing so very nicely. Also, the hybrid White-ear x Broad-tail was still in the canyon at this time.
