Now that we have “settled” in Tucson, Arizona, or at least this is where the 5th Wheel is for the time being, it has been nice to be able to spread out a bit. I have my bird books, field guides and reference material out where they can be gotten to in a moment’s notice. I need to find a wholesale account for my bird seed somewhere.

Despite all this, we did manage to get nearly 20 new birds for the list.

My first birding trip ever was to Arizona. I saw a lot of birds, learned a lot about birding (including the fact that I had lousy binoculars), and gained good birder friends. I had a list of birds I had missed and a list of birds I needed to see again—second lifers I call them. At least for birders.
