I thought of you when we saw him.</p> </p> <p>ETA: &nbsp;the butterflies are apparently getting salts and minerals when they gather on sand. &nbsp;Learn something everyday!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arizona-in-august#post-2223217 Sun, 12 Sep 2021 12:40:56 +0000 kkards 2223217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arizona-in-august#post-2223175 Sun, 12 Sep 2021 09:30:20 +0000 Sally 2223175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are beautiful photos and beautiful birds.&nbsp; Thank you for sharing.

I envy you your trip, although I don't think I would be cut out for such an adventure! I find it amazing how places can be so dry and then have such an explosion of life when the rains come; it must be amazing to see. I haven't been to the desert southwest yet, but your pictures make me want to pay a visit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arizona-in-august#post-2223119 Sun, 12 Sep 2021 00:19:01 +0000 JAileen 2223119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Phoebe, thank you. &nbsp;I’ve never printed out any pictures, but I do send a picture of the day to my mother and a few friends when we’re on a trip. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arizona-in-august#post-2223116 Sat, 11 Sep 2021 23:37:49 +0000 Anonymous 2223116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing JAileen, what a great trip and thank you so much for sharing your pictures. If these were my photos I would have to print at least my favorites and hang them up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arizona-in-august#post-2223108 Sat, 11 Sep 2021 22:17:14 +0000 JAileen 2223108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UmmLila, thank you. &nbsp;Did you go to Saguaro Nat’l Park? &nbsp;Your lovely pictures look like they could be from there. &nbsp;We went through Tucson a few years ago, and went to the eastern unit in the late afternoon. &nbsp;It was just stunning. &nbsp;Here at home I see one butterfly at a time. But where we were in SE AZ, we saw several dozen at a time, together. &nbsp;It must be because of water. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arizona-in-august#post-2223107 Sat, 11 Sep 2021 21:39:53 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2223107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are beautiful photos. I just got back from Labor Day weekend in Tucson, and was amazed by the plant life following monsoon season. I didn’t see any such amazing birds but there was a near plague of butterflies on on of my hikes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arizona-in-august#post-2223097 Sat, 11 Sep 2021 20:29:17 +0000 JAileen 2223097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nikki, thank you. &nbsp;I absolutely love owls, and I’m glad you appreciate them, too. &nbsp;We saw another owl, a whiskered screech owl, which is a very small one. &nbsp;It was after dark, so no photo. &nbsp;:(</p> <p>Cardiff girl, thank you. &nbsp;I actually loved seeing the tarantula. &nbsp;It was the second one I’ve seen in the wild. &nbsp;The first one was local, found by our Scottie. &nbsp;He’s all muscle, and it took everything I had to keep him from getting it!</p> <p>Bonnie, the kingfisher is a favorite of mine. &nbsp;We have one we see in a local park, going up and down the river. &nbsp;Re birding: &nbsp;I was very concerned when my husband retired that he would be hanging around the house all the time, getting in my way, telling me how to do things I’ve been doing for years. &nbsp;But he is out birding 4-5 hours nearly everyday. &nbsp;It’s working out very well. &nbsp;:) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I mostly don’t go because he spends so much time taking photographs. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arizona-in-august#post-2223096 Sat, 11 Sep 2021 20:10:25 +0000 Bonnie 2223096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We did move to the coast and now we see shorebirds. They are not as colorful as AZ birds but so interesting. My favorite is the kingfisher. We do see migrant birds especially when there are storms in the ocean. I have enjoyed your birding adventures. It must be interesting being married to a real birder.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arizona-in-august#post-2223093 Sat, 11 Sep 2021 19:55:58 +0000 Cardiff girl 2223093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What fabulous photos,it’s a real treat to share in your birding experiences.Not keen on the tarantula though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arizona-in-august#post-2223089 Sat, 11 Sep 2021 19:40:46 +0000 Anonymous 2223089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing the pics! Love the majestic great horned owl I see some birders on my walks, staring up at trees and telling me a string of names. Also, there are bald eagle searchers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arizona-in-august#post-2223073 Sat, 11 Sep 2021 17:21:41 +0000 JAileen 2223073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonnie, I know you’ve moved, to the coast, is that right? &nbsp;Don’t you get birds migrating through there? &nbsp;We’re starting to get migrants here. &nbsp;I should mention that my husband is the diehard birder. &nbsp;I’m just birder lite. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arizona-in-august#post-2223071 Sat, 11 Sep 2021 17:14:26 +0000 Bonnie 2223071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We've camped in the Chiracahuas and that is an amazing place. I miss the seeing the birds, both the local and the ones migrating through. We did do a bit of birding there, nothing like what you are involved in, and it was great fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arizona-in-august#post-2223069 Sat, 11 Sep 2021 16:37:01 +0000 JAileen 2223069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonnie, it was amazingly diverse. &nbsp;My favorite place was at 8400 feet, in Rustler Park, in the Chiracahuas. &nbsp;It was so cool and dry. &nbsp;I think it was the only place I wanted to be in the sun. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arizona-in-august#post-2223068 Sat, 11 Sep 2021 16:29:01 +0000 Bonnie 2223068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love AZ and these photos remind me of my time there. It's a beautiful, diverse place with an unique ecosystem. The monsoons are great to watch and it's cool for a couple of hours after. Too bad it's so hot much of the year. We still visit there for a couple of weeks in late Feb. when the temp is usually lovely.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arizona-in-august#post-2223065 Sat, 11 Sep 2021 15:48:17 +0000 JAileen 2223065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thank you. &nbsp;I usually try to add pictures of the gear I used, but we had very long days (5AM to 8PM, for example) and I barely had enough energy to fling myself into bed after a quick shower. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arizona-in-august#post-2223060 Sat, 11 Sep 2021 15:29:02 +0000 Angie 2223060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You lead a full birding life, and it's a treat for us to bird watch with you. Glad you had a wonderful trip </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arizona-in-august#post-2223051 Sat, 11 Sep 2021 15:11:00 +0000 JAileen 2223051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, thanks. &nbsp;We saw several types of butterflies doing this. &nbsp;I think they were drinking water because the ground was damp. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/arizona-in-august#post-2223049 Sat, 11 Sep 2021 14:57:38 +0000 Carla 2223049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#15 - the butterflies looks like an art shot! &nbsp;Sounds (and looks) like a fabulous get-away. Thanks for sharing your adventure! </p>
