Desert Adventures

 I know that 2012 is going to be a great year because here it is only 10 days into the New Year and I have already crossed paths with a vermilion flycatcher!  On our hike up Aravaipa Canyon (near Winkleman, Arizona),  we hiked in the perennial waters of Aravaipa Creek as that was often the best route through this rugged canyon. Other bird delights today included the bold canyon wren singing his signature song, as well as a cool looking frog who allowed us to photo him. On to Silver City, New Mexico tomorrow!!

Is this the rare Diamond Back Frog of Aravaipa Canyon?
