Birds of Crazy Ed (and a few other southwestern places)

Ed & Carol's house is the biggest bird hotel in southern Arizona, I suspect. And this area, close to Mexico and on several important migration routes, attracts a lot of birds which aren't usually seen in the rest of the US.

I saw my first oriole here -- and I saw three species!

Alas, the roadrunner from the previous trip was no longer here.
