Arizona Photography

 There are still only a few migrants passing through, along with some of the familiar birds.  At the same time, we're still getting out of state human visitors, as well.  Some of the latest were from Montana and Minnesota, where winter is hanging on.  When I first arrived today, there were two "Tom" Turkeys strutting around the parking area displaying impressive tail feathers.  Naturally, I had to take a photo.

 On my previous post, I inadvertently omitted a few photos from 3/23/2026, so I'm including them here.  Those from Sierra Vista were taken in my back yard, where the blooms of the Palo Verde tree (and the hummingbird feeder) have attracted a wide variety of birds.  In fact, the poor hummingbirds had to hover nearby and swoop in for a quick nip at the first opportunity.
