Coconino National Forest..

In this first shot he is looking backwards, which gives him a weird appearance.

OK....all you hawk identifiers....which one is this?? We were driving into Coconino National Forest trying to get to some water areas to look for bird activity and the first bird I saw was this hawk up in a tree. No idea what kind.

Great water here, lined with Sycamore trees and Cottonwoods. I love the white bark of Sycamores and looking at their branches against the blue of the sky.
The coolest thing we saw here were these spiders in their holes in the ground, all lined with web and covered over on the outside....with the spiders lurking and waiting. I love the spiral appearance of the web in the hole!

This hawk was circling over-head, but again, I have no idea what kind.

High up in one tree, I saw a bird going in and out of a sort of vertical hole in the tree. I never could get a real good picture, but it sure looked like a Titmouse of some sort to me.

We decided to go where there was a smaller calmer stream and look for birds there. I was rewarded with 2 different birds. One was a Ruby Crowned Kinglet.....I saw the red on his head....but my shots are not great because he kept hiding in the limbs. Then I saw another bird, which from pictures we think is a Black Phoebe. It posed nicely, but I'm just not familiar with western birds!

More later. I'm running out of days here in Tucson. Only one full day left and travel all day on Saturday.
