Today we spent the day birding with a local bird guide: Melody Kehl of Melody's Birding Adventures. This is the second time we have birded with Melody - the first being in August 2003. We definitely reccomend her! She is very knowledgable about the birds of Southeast Arizona, and nature in general, and it was a pleasure for us to spend the day birding with her! Here is a link to her site, with more information about her services. We birded on Fort Huachuaca today, in various locations. If you plan on birding here, don't forget your ID to gain access to this army base. I forgot and we had to go back to get my wallet!
