OCTOBER 31, 2018
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.

Up to 256 bird species, deer, black bears, foxes, big cats, Gila Monsters, and 16 species of bats call this area of southeastern Arizona home. (

Things had just started to settle down a bit, now that we had parked the RV in Tucson. We were making some new birding friends, learning the local hotspots etc. I mean really, what 1200 miles (one way) if you might get another 30 birds or so?

If I know the readership at 10,000 Birds, they are already way ahead on this one, but please remember to give the migrants a little space. Bat Falcon – Falco rufigularis.
