Ash Canyon - April 24, 2026 & Sierra Vista - April 26, 2026

The last photo in this post may be disturbing to some viewers, as it shows a male House Finch infected with what appears to be an Avian Pox.  This viral infection is sometimes transmitted by mosquitoes, but also by contact at feeders.  The finches are especially susceptible.  A bird might recover if the growth, much like a wart, doesn't affect its ability to eat.  Corrective action requires removal of contaminated feeders and disinfecting them.

Ash Canyon - June 17, 2025

 When I arrived , there were already three cars in the parking area, so I knew this would be a more social day than last visit.  Not long after getting there, a woman approached me and said there was a Diamondback Rattlesnake near the water feature along the main path.  I went with her to check it out while she told me the snake had crawled under her bench on his way to the rocky water feature.  She was alerted by numerous birds gathering around the area and chirping like crazy.  The woman said she is from Denver, but grew up in Tucson, pointing out she had never seen snakes in Tucson, but sees them frequently in Colorado.  Our snake was partially hidden, so these are the best photos I could get.

Ash Canyon - August 9, 2025

 The number of hummingbirds at the sanctuary has increased once again, including three species I had not seen so far this year.  Word has obviously gotten out, and the people are here in droves, bolstered by a group tour from the Tucson Birding Festival sponsored each year by the Audubon Society.  It was so crowded, in fact, that there were no empty seats in the main area when I arrived.  Since I was told the Rivoli's has started appearing daily, I went first to the "lower yard" where I've seen it in past years.  Unfortunately, that area is very shady, making it more of a challenge to get good photos.When it comes to such a special bird, I figure a poor photo is better than no photo. With some birds, it's almost impossible to distinguish between a female and an immature male.  Therefore, I've captioned those as "F/J".  The three new species are the Rivoli's, Costa's and Calliope.  The Rivoli's is the largest hummingbird in North America, ...

 With so many Hummingbirds at the sanctuary right now, my main goal for this day was to get good shots of a variety of species, both in flight and on natural perches, rather than feeders.  I also wanted to get photos with good backgrounds, rather than those cluttered with branches or man-made objects.  I think I was somewhat successful, although there is always room for improvement.
