Chiricahuan Birds II: Mountain Highlands : The Chiricahua Mountains in extreme southeast Arizona have been called THE premier bird area in all of North America. Home to Coatimundi (a relative of the raccoon) and species of wildlife that are found only in this mountain range, the Chiricahuas are a perfect example of a "Sky Island". The name rings down through the lore of the Old West, too; this is the ancestral home of the Chiricahua Apaches, whose names include such legends as Cochise and Geronimo. With its spectacular landscapes, abundant birds, and location off-the-beaten-track, it's the kind of place where I can repeatedly return to and never tire of its wonders. These are photos from my 8-day stay there in late June 2008. Speaking staying, a place I can highly recommend for lodging while visiting the Chiricahuas is Portal Peak Lodge; their website is here --- http://www.portalpeaklodge.com . If after seeing my photos you do decide to visit, tell 'em Steve Wolfe sent you... :o)

The bird photos were taken with the Canon 40D DSLR and an EF 100-400 f4.5/5.6L IS lens, while the landscapes were captured with the Pentax K10D and a Pentax DA 16-45mm lens with a circular polarizer.

A book packed with information on southeast Arizona birds and detailed descriptions of the places they can be found is Rick Taylor's "A Birder's Guide to Southeastern Arizona," published by the American Birding Association ( http://www.abasales.com/index.php?main_page=pubs_product_book_info&products_id=493 ) It was my guide in the Chiricahuas, and a book I'd recommend for anyone visiting the area.

This part of my Chiricahuan adventures (Part 1: Desert and Canyons can be found at http://trailhiker.smugmug.com/gallery/5616913_iug9X ) deals with the birds found in the area known as the High Chiricahuas, a magnificent expanse of rugged mountainscape running atop the spine of the range.

Presqu'ile Provincial Park : Had a wonderful day birding on September 11, 2008. This is a beautiful park on my "must visit" list for some time. I finally had the chance, and added 6 life birds to my list as a result.

Aves II : Wow, I wasn't expecting to see this gallery being featured on the Birds community page. My thanks to all who liked the Magnolia Warbler image and voted it up. A special thanks to Paul Evans for the selection and for providing a great place to display bird images.
