10,000 Birds

My hosts could confidently tick off the species on their life list. We got at least three sub-species but the highlight was a Wilson’s Snipe we flushed. We also saw Prairie Dogs , Bison , Mule Deer , Abert’s Squirrel and Coyote. We were happy enough for we were getting reasonable views. I can recommend it.

This diversity makes for a very unique birding experience. In addition to the hundred or so species of birds I regularly find here, there are Desert Foxes, Bobcats, Mountain Lions, Desert Bighorn Sheep and Mule Deer. Box canyons, long arroyos, and rolling desert vistas, accented with several different kinds of cactus.

Growing up in central Oregon, allowed me to experience such a diverse amount of habitat, and the wildlife that resides there. Home to over 200 species, this amazing area is quite susceptible to the amount of rainfall each year. I had the antelope greet me on my way in, and this Mule Deer doe, was there to say goodbye on my way out.

I was very pleased to discover that we had chosen to stay in a place smack dab in the middle of a juniper-pinyon forest, which meant that finding one of my main two target species of the trip, a Juniper Titmouse , was amazingly easy. Oh well, the trail was nice and the kids liked the nice looks at Mule Deer.
