We saw Broad-billed Hummingbirds.
We saw Acorn Woodpeckers.
Mexican Jays.
White-breasted Nuthatches.
Red-naped Sapsucker.Bridled Titmice.Dark-eyed Junco.Yellow-eyed Junco. But no White-eared Hummingbird. We gave it a good shot. We stayed there for hours. No-one saw a White-eared Hummingbird all day. Ah well. On to our next victim. Maybe we’ll get an Elegant Trogon.

…bird. Arizona Woodpecker. We’re having a good time here camped next to Rick and Sheri, 
…but it’s time to move on. There is a woodpecker with our name on it. Well, not literally, but there is a woodpecker we mean to see down in the Tucson area. We’re going to camp next to Madera Canyon and stay there until we find the Arizona Woodpecker. The Arizona Woodpecker lives in Madera Canyon. (He lives other places too, but I’ve been watching online and that’s where the most consistent sightings are right now.) We’ve been in his habitat before but haven’t managed to cross paths. This time it’s time.
