Sulphur Springs Valley, Arizona

This past week I've been photographing mostly near the Whitewater Draw in the Sulphur Springs Valley of SE Arizona. This is a great birding area with a wide variety of species to shoot, and is especially known for raptors.

I've been staying in the town of Bisbee, which is a vibrant community full of eccentric folks.... a haven for hippies and artists. It's a cool town!

I've been trying to get a half decent shot of a harrier for years. It finally happened this evening!

My family and I visit your blog at least once a week and look at all the neat pictures... everything is going good at PC...I am sure they miss you at GBI...my mom and dad are down in Uma Arizona now as they left 2 weeks ago from Owen Sound to get away from the nasty snow!...mom hasn't called yet so I am hoping to hear from her soon.
