Guess Where We Are?

Can you guess where we are by the photos?

Arizona!  Would you have ever guessed that?  I went to the water retention ponds outside of Phoenix on Friday morning and that is what I found - lots of ducks and shorebirds.  And a new bird for me - Neotropic Cormorant.  It's technically not a "life bird" but it is the first time that I saw one well enough to identify and photograph it. The ID is the white outline at the base of the bill and the smaller size than our regular Double-crested Cormorants.

More to come.  We were supposed to fly home on Monday, but we switched our flight to tomorrow.  See you soon.
