Audubon's Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warbler observed on Mt. Lemmon outside Tucson, Arizona. Bird in basic plumage at this time of year.
Sunrise in the East, above the clouds, high on Mt Lemmon, the day starts. Alone above the city of Tucson, Arizona the world below seems remote and unimportant.

This Panorama was shot above Windy Point on Mt Lemmon just outside Tucson, Arizona in the winter of 2015.
The running water drew the Yellow-eyed Juncos close, too. A lovely morning at Marshall's Gulch.

On the way up Mt. Lemmon outside of Tucson, there are a couple of campgrounds that are great for birding. As you head up the mountain, you find different habitats with different birds at different elevations. At Middle Bear Picnic Area we found a family of Acorn Woodpeckers calling in their loud raspy calls as they do. In this particular spot they were spending time around an old stump with berries that had fallen into the cracks. These birds are known for storing their acorns in trees called granaries which look like they are poka-doted from the tops of the acorns seen here.

The hike to this location was worth the effort! Hiked about 2 and a half miles to this location through the snow and froze my butt off but was worth it! Shot with the canon 5D markiv with the 100-400mm
A hoodoo (also called a tent rock, fairy chimney or earth pyramid) is a tall, thin spire of rock that protrudes from the bottom of an arid drainage basin or badland. Hoodoos, which may range from 4.9 to 147.6 ft typically consist of relatively soft rock topped by harder, less easily eroded stone that protects each column from the elements. They generally form within sedimentary rock and volcanic rock formations.

The female Broad-tailed Hummingbird is similar to the female Rufous, but has more of a spotted throat and less red on outer tail. Broad-tails are the most common breeding high-elevation hummingbird in Arizona.

Desert Centipede - When they grab onto prey, they wrap all those legs around it, and then envenomate with the modified pincers located on either side of the head. It is EXTREMELY painful, and potentially dangerous.

I've been waiting for the chance to do this (otisblank.com/2011/01/11/took-the-w108-up-mt-lemmon/) again and I finally got the chance today. Took a lot of film photos, I'll post them when I can.
I had an amazing night learning about celestial photography! Thank you to everyone who helped with great advice, patience, and encouragement. This is my first Milky Way shot, and although I still have LOTS to learn, I could not be more pleased with my first attempt at this beautiful form of photography. ©R.C.

I don't know what this shrubbery is but it is abundant on Mt. Lemmon and gorgeous on a recent drive there, February

More photos from last weekend at Mt Lemmon, north of Tucson. We were fortunate enough to be there early before the snow was trampled by visitors to the mountain community.
The temps were still low enough that the trees were heavy with snow.
These guys hunt by swooping down on their prey in vertical dives. I was so thrilled to see this lifer and even more thrilled to be the first to discover them breeding in this part of AZ!
