Arizona Photography

 Explore.org is a wildlife organization that posts videos from all over the world on the internet.  Last fall, they installed two cameras on the grounds of Ash Canyon Bird Sanctuary, providing live views of activity twenty-four hours a day.  Since bird activity has been below normal in recent weeks, I decided to share with you some archived photos from the Explore.com cameras.   One reason for slow bird activity is that most feeders have been temporarily removed due to ongoing bear damage.  Now that we have started getting summer rains, we're hoping the bears will have plenty of food and water in the woods and won't be drawn to the sanctuary's feeders.
