Thanks for opening my eyes! Now, how do I manage a pair of binoculars, a bird book, my camera and my two dogs all at the same time?Karen Funk Blocherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860091802901743222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-7344996857071094042009-01-10T19:46:00.000-07:002009-01-10T19:46:00.000-07:00Fabulous photos, Kathie!

I will be headed to Tucson sometime next month to visit my sister, so I am looking through your blog for new suggestions of places to see birds :-) You always have so many lovely photos of beautiful places. She lives close to Sabino Canyon, so where you live is fresh territory for us to explore.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02890796903959709429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-53283209798396254802009-01-09T23:03:00.000-07:002009-01-09T23:03:00.000-07:00Bobbie, I love trees and the shadows they create. ...Bobbie, I love trees and the shadows they create.

I could have gotten more photos of the Vermillion but my camera ran out of battery power and I didn't bring the extra one along. I had no idea I'd be gone that long or take that many photos!<BR/><BR/>Jayne, hello! It is a great park to see birds in, especially when there are few peole around. I felt so lucky today. Ususally the park is quite crowded, though I can usally find some quiet corner. Today I had the whole park to myself!<BR/><BR/>Doug, there are so many ducks! 2 ponds full!<BR/><BR/>Dee, Cooper's are so quick. My feeders are being hunted on a regular basis. Welcome to my blog!
