Molly and I are spending a little over a week in Tucson, and down in the Desert SW birds are already well into the mating season, including these two red-tailed hawks which I saw a bit after sunrise. One issue I had not anticipated is roaring rivers in the desert. Two dry washes which I normally use on my birding hikes were totally impassable due to rivers which had appeared.

Get this, if we wanted to take a drive in our car and climb a bit in elevation there is a winter storm warning for the next 24 hours. Even down at our elevation of 2,400 feet snow is likely tonight. Tomorrow’s sunrise photography assignment may be photographing the snow covered desert!
