SPECIES SEEN
11/24/08 to 11/30/2008  
 
Walking the Anza Trail yielded 53 species this week.  The best day was Tuesday when 13 birders from the "meet at the Deli at 8 AM group" ran into "the flock" just across from the Baca Float STP.  The Bridled Titmice signaled their presence, and before they all passed about an hour later, we had 6 species of warbler and several other species.  The warblers included late MacGillivray's, Wilson's, and Common Yellowthroat. 
 
Though not rare, an uncommon Curved-billed Thrasher was seen just north of Rio Rico.  The same section of trail revealed a Loggerhead Shrike. 
 
There were Savannah Sparrows along the spur trail leading to the Tubac Presidio. ~Jim
