Normally Wile-E-Coyote tries to catch the roadrunner, but this morning it was hanging out in the irrigated farm lands of Mirana, Arizona. This area does very well for birding, but not to many folks spend time in this non traditional Tucson location. In fact, not only do you get to see lots of birds, but one may drive by and view the Pinal Air Graveyard. I saw a lot of Boeing 747’s this morning that will fly no more.
Anyhow … a few pics from my morning’s efforts.

Yellow-Headed Blackbirds
American Kestrel
American Barn Owl
wow- just love these! thank you
I’ve been to the airplane graveyard in Tucson, but never birded there…
The yellow headed blackbirds look different than those here in the Midwest.
Had a road runner brush by my leg about ten years ago when I was there birding!
A thrill!
Enjoy your getaway! You deserve it.
I’ll be in Sedona next wk.
Pam … this is not the airplane graveyard next to the museum, it is south of I-10 near the town of Mirana.
