RBA for flame-colored or stripe-backed tanager in Arizona
Just got back from Cave Creek Canyon in the Chiricahua Mts. where
the "whole" birders' world is turning out to see this tanager.
No problem for this first time visitant from Mexico;it sings very
loudly and sits in plain sight for all to see. It is found at the
second stream-crossing at South Fork in the canyon.
Also present are all the usual migrants. In late april it\
was still snowing on the top at Rustlers Park.
There is a white-fronted goose at Bosque del Apache Refuge in
New Mexico. White-winged doves were at Caballo Dam in New Mexico.
