Yesterday, I had a chance to get out and do a bit of birding with a couple of friends from Minnesota. \u00a0High up on their desired bird list was Five-striped Sparrow, so we headed off to the back country west of Nogales to pay a visit to California Gulch, home to a small colony of Five-stripes. \u00a0Thanks to some recent rains, the sparrows were singing quite a bit, and in the end, we encountered perhaps as many as six individuals. \u00a0Later that afternoon, we paid a visit to a few sites in Patagonia, where the image of the Broad-billed Hummingbird was taken.<\/p>\n\n
