This ten-day Venture has been put together with the goal of finding as many of the Southeastern Arizona specialties as possible, and at this time of year we should encounter many of them with ease. Early mornings are best spent in the desert before it gets too hot, and the sunrises are nothing short of spectacular. Saguaro National Park harbors Costa's Hummingbird while the deserts east of Portal hold Bendire's, Crissal, and Curve-billed Thrashers. Canyons will be a theme and we will visit many, if not all of the following - Madera, Florida, Ramsey, Carr, Miller, Ash, Huachuca, and Cave Creek. Within these and others we will encounter many of our targets, from the incomparable Elegant Trogon and Painted Redstart to the incredibly vocal Sulphur-bellied Flycatchers and rare Black-capped Gnatcatcher.
