Ramsey Canyon: A Birders Paradise
Arguably Arizona is one of the top spots in the USA for birding. It sits along a corridor that makes up the center of the bird migration route from North America to South America and acts as a stopover during the long flight. Ramsey Canyon is but one of many canyons in the Arizona Southeast and many birds, including a large variety of hummingbirds, make their stop here. These are photos from a trip to Ramsey Canyon July 31-August 5, 2023:
