Sunsets, Sunrises, and Birds

Sunrise from Child Mountain

Just another desert afternoon at ORPI

Sunset at ORPI

Orpi volunteers at NWR visitor center, Ajo

Phainopepla on Saguaro

I was up a 5:30 and birding by 7:30 at Child's Mtn just above Ajo.  We (fellow ORPI volunteers) were lucky enough to be with the NWR ranger so she opened the gate to the top of the mountain.  We traveled in the NWR vehicle.  What a view!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Phainopepla and Red Tailed Hawks were the birds of the day. We did spot others but we did not really encounter as many as I had hoped and we were done by noon. A good time was had anyway.  Another day in the desert!
