Marshall Gulch (I)

No birding trip to Tucson, AZ is complete without the Reid Park Elegant Trogan search. (Step 1: margaritas, and lots of them.) visiting Mt. Lemmon at least one. Amazing spot for all sorts of “pine mountain,” etc. birds only seen at higher elevations. These shots from the beautiful Marshall Gulch trail in August, including “first time ever” of this lovely flycatcher:

Cordilleran Flycatcher
Yellow-eyed Junco
More flycatcher
Hermit Thrush

Any time there’s Red-faced Warbler, it’s ‘bird of the day.’ These shots very shaded/grainy, but still a beautiful bird:


Dark-eyed Junco

Coming up soon, more at Marshall Gulch!
