Many of our stops will be off the beaten path, areas that provide great birding opportunities and beautiful, quiet, contemplative views. We have watched as Peregrine Falcons and White-throated Swifts fly through a complete double rainbow that stretched across the Canyon. A second night at the Anasazi Inn. Our day will begin at San Francisco Peaks and Hart Prairie Road to look for highland species such as Northern Goshawk , Clark s Nutcracker , Red-naped Sapsucker , and Virginia s Warbler . A large fire has created acres of prime Three-toed Woodpecker habitat.
Elk are likely.
Overnight in Mesa, near Phoenix. Our final day is an exciting one. We ll arrive at Dudleyville early to look for Mississippi Kite and additional riparian species along the San Pedro. We ll look for Harris s Hawk en route to Tucson where we arrive at mid-day for our flights home. The Grand Canyon Extension will be led by Bob Schutsky, immediately following the Southeast Arizona Tour.
