Birding in Arizona - Day 6, Flagstaff Arboretum
The Arboretum was a disappointment it's fair to say. It's primarily about (a) entertaining children and (b) forest management. The location is splendid, though:
But the trails and indeed birding are very limited. This is a shame as it's in a great place to pick-up lots of local specialists but it's just so limited. They could do so much more there.
Anyway I did get to see Yellow-rumped Warbler:
Steller's Jay:
Northern Flicker:
Mountain Bluebird:
House Wren:
Common Grackle:
Broad-tailed Hummingbird:
And Chipping Sparrow:
Time then to head to Quizno's for a toasted veggie sub each before heading back to the hotel. We had some thinking to do as the plan for Friday was to drive to Tuscon via Phoenix, a six hour drive and to take in some birding on the way, but of course, things had changed....
