Arizona Bird Event
Well it would seem that Arizona has an annual bird event and fortunately, I heard about it before it actually happened. It’s a sandhill crane celebration that happens every year. Next year it’s happening from January 13 through January 16th, 2005. I’m hoping I can take a drive down to Willcox and capture some nice photos with the digital rebel. Here’s a little blurb from Wings Over Willcox web site:
From the rugged peaks of the Dos Cabezas Mountains to Middle March Pass of the Dragoon Mountains, nature is one of southeastern Arizona’s greatest attractions. The Sulphur Springs Valley, which lies between these two mountain ranges, is home to a great variety of plant and animal life. It is this diversity that draws nearly 500 species of birds to Cochise County. Every year, thousands of nature enthusiasts from around the world come to the valley to enjoy this wonderful attraction. The Magic Circle of Cochise, which begins and ends in Willcox, offers the birding enthusiast the opportunity to visit some of the best birding attractions in southeastern Arizona.
I wonder if this will eventually be the next best thing to Bosque Del Apache? In any case, if you’d like to know more information about this specific birding event, visit Wings Over Willcox. Who knows, maybe I’ll see you there on Saturday or Sunday.
