On Saturday December 10th I decided to go down to Cottonwood and Sedona
to hit a couple of spots to try to reach 500 species in 2016, including
300 in North America.
I had looked on eBird for some likely spots and my son and I went to
Ogden Ranch Road hoping for sparrows. Alas the only such species found
were White-crowneds. However we got lucky with a Prairie Falcon
harassing a raven overhead. The falcon took we one nearer to my targets.
Further stops at Chuckwalla Road and in a Sedona Neighborhood failed to deliver hoped-for White-winged Dove or Canyon Towhee.
On Wednesday December 14th Barbara and I spent 4 hours in Sedona on the
CBC where we saw many expected species, but again no Canyon Towhee
