On Friday, naturalists Debbie and Jerry Bird reported seeing a female Elegant Trogan in the Sabino Dam area. On Saturday morning, I searched and found the rare visitor below Bear Bridge. As far as I can tell, no one has reported seeing this mainly Mexico and Central American native in Sabino Canyon since 2002. Luckily, it arrived in time to be added to 2018’s Christmas Bird Count list.
Wow!
Will and I saw it this morning.
What a treat!
Congratulations Jerry and Debbie!
Wonderful…..moving north with climate change?
She was behind the dam this morning! Many in our group saw her.
