Arizona Photography

 I think this Spring has been cooler than normal, which may have delayed migration a bit.  Still, a few new birds show up periodically to keep things interesting.  Recent human visitors include folks from New Mexico and Arkansas.

 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.
