A walk down Tanque Verde Wash below Wentworth Road and through the 49er Country Club neighborhood...
Meeting up with another friend, Barbara, to look for the Pine Warbler and Orchard Oriole...
Birding through Madera Canyon and up Florida Canyon, seeing Hepatic Tanager, Rufous-capped Warbler, Olive Warbler, and Arizona Woodpecker...
Hiking up Ventana Canyon, finding a Magnificent Hummingbird and seeing dozens of Black-chinned Sparrows and other desert birds...
These are the memorable things that filled the 3-day weekend I spent with Matthew, who drove all the way from Laguna Beach.
Arriving at Madera Canyon, snow still on the shaded slopes where we hiked.
Matthew paying the $5 fee.
A Gray Hairstreak (rather worn) at Evergreen Cemetery, where we did not find the Pine Warbler, but did see 7 Vermilion Flycatchers and several West Coast Ladies.
