Aphelocoma wollweberi
November 21, 1995: Madera Canyon, Pima County, AZ
After hiking back down, we were rewarded by seeing several of these lovely birds in the trees in and around the parking area! We later saw them throughout the park. Noisy, but attractive birds.
December 28, 1997: Carr Canyon, Cochise County, AZ
Spotted several of these large, pretty birds in both Carr and Ramsey Canyons, near the road in all cases.
December 30, 1997: San Rafael Grasslands, Santa Cruz County, AZ
These birds were the first of what turned out to be an all-day, very productive excursion. These birds were seen before reaching the actual valley, along Harshaw Creek Road.
Let me know what you think!
