Phoenix

On February 22nd my son and I went down to Phoenix to meet my wife who was flying in from LA. We spent some time on Friday evening, and then as a family on Saturday morning, in Papago Park chasing down some easy desert birds. We found two of our target birds Cactus Wren and Gambel's Quail.

In the early afternoon we headed out to the thrasher spot in Buckeye where we found Crissal's Thrasher and Le Conte's Thrasher. We then drove back via the agricultural fields around Arlington and saw a small group of Sandhill Cranes and my first Vermillion Flycatcher of 2013.
