This is a record shot of an adult rare Short-tailed Hawk carrying food which I witnessed feed to a begging juvenile. If you want to listen to the juvenile head over here xeno-canto.org/741324 to listen.
It was a magical experience and I found out it is the first confirmed breeding record north of the Chiricahuas.

The majority of the hummingbirds we saw on this trip were on feeders. (This very large hummingbird was formerly known as "Magnificent Hummingbird".)
Lyrids Over Windy Point Vista
12-photo panoramic showing 2 bright Lyrids flying over Windy Point Vista on Mt. Lemmon in Tucson, Arizona. I spent the last 12 hours photographing the Lyrid meteor shower and shooting some time-lapses for Smithsonian. I am beat! I will post more photos later on today after I wake up.

At the top of Mt. Lemmon (elev. 9,000 ft.) in Tucson. Some kind folks had put some seed out! This bird was a lifer for us. (More views below)
Agave flower
Mt. Lemmon, AZ USA
Just returned from my trip to Tucson and Sierra Vista in Arizona. I was fascinated by the agave flowers which can reach heights of up to 30 feet. The flowers are an important food source for moths, butterflies, hummingbirds and bats.

Decided to head up to Windy Point this evening at the last minute because some clouds had rolled in and it looked like there was potential for a great sunset. Delays on the road and very slow traffic on the way up, but two rainbows visible and the clouds were turing bright orange. Amazing colors filled the sky as I stepped out of the car. There was a large crowd, so I headed for the point so I could get a clean shot. In the hundred yards from the car to the point, the colors peaked and then the sun dropped like a rock just as I was putting my camera on the tripod. Probably the most spectacular sunset I have seen at this location in the 3-1/2 years since I bought my first SLR and starting headed up here on a regular basis. A beautiful sunset. I hope someone got it, because I was 20 seconds too late. Dang, I really need to pay more attention to the shooting conditions before the sun starts going down. Ended up shooting a few longer exposure shots to see if I could at least keep from going home completely empty handed. This shot combined 5 exposures from 1 to 15 seconds. Tucson lights in the distance.

Golden tones and a wonderful fall scene on top of Mt. Lemmon. Awesome way to escape the heat of Tucson. :)

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.
Couldn't resist doing a sun burst through the snow covered pine trees.

I hesitate to call this pyrocumulus, since we had clouds over the rest of the sky and it could be managing more development due to orographic uplift (wind was from the south).
The forecast was for a 10% chance of rain, and we had a trace. Clearly not enough to help with the fire except for the higher humidity.

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!

While visiting a number of spots on Mt. Lemmon, outside Tucson, I was able to see 6 different Painted Redstarts, most of whom were not very cooperative photographically. Until I located an adult male that seemed to be feeding around a restroom. He would sit in the trees/bushes snapping at insects then periodically he would fly to the top of the restroom and call, flashing his tail all the time. Profile shot.

UGH, I hate this new layout.
There is nothing about it I like. And, why the hell would I put a tag "songbird"??? And call it an Animal??????
