Thanks for the virtual trip back to AZ! How I miss it, especially in the winter... Your bird shots have been special.
November should be significantly warmer, & actually could be a bit hot if you get abnormal temperatures.
The new equipment sounds interesting, but a bit large for me. I can still deal well with cramped quarters at the moment. My little Honda FIT is still "a good fit" for me.
Yes!

Since the spikes are not curved, and since they are yellowish, I think these might be golden barrel cacti. Also they seem to be a bit larger diameter.

So glad you got out to somewhere other than home for a while. It was nice vicarious fun for me. Hope you get the vaccine soon.

3 years agoThanks for the link to your video! That was exactly what we were hoping to find on the Wilcox Playa. And your description of riding on Davis Rd was also helpful as I had tagged it as a future out and back ride from Tombstone. The cranes also migrate through Monte Vista, CO in March where they also gather in the thousands at a wildlife refuge. They normally have a festival but I see it's been cancelled for this year.
3 years agoI should have given you a pointer: https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/2020part1/to-douglas/. Be sure you watch the video. The video gives you a good idea of how close in they were and of their numbers.
3 years agoThanks for the tip Scott. I see on my map where that wildlife area is located . We'll definately check it out next time! It's not as if we've never seen cranes before, just never in that number.
3 years agoI doubt we'll ride this road again for a day ride just because of the dirty, rough shoulder. But we are interested in trying that road you were on going east of Patagonia up into that mining area. That sounded ideal.
3 years agoYes, we too were amazed! I really hadn't thought of seeing hummers on this trip until we saw some around our camping neighbor's feeder.
3 years agoThanks for the link Bill. I'll keep that one in mind.
3 years agoAmazing both the diversity and overall numbers of hummers down there!
