In the Chiricahuas we saw this bird. There were about 4 of them that hung around us, one had a speck of teal color on it's neck, the brighter colored ones had speckled white on their wings. This bird was beautiful and was wondering if anyone knew what it was.

And where should the ranger send the ticket for feeding the wildlife?

Ummm, it was an all organic grain cracker?!
Hey, GB, what's your address again? I'll even let you stand on high ground, next time we have a group photo!
I have to agree, it was a Black-headed Grosbeak (Pheucticus melanocephalus), they are magnificent, very charming and very flirtatious! Did I mention thief's too? They kept stealing my cracker.
Thanks everyone! There are some really awesome birds in that area. Very colorful.

GB, from this moment on, I'll let you stand on the high ground. I just have to abuse you, for being gone so much! Besides, we are only talking inches, right? |

Mary, no just millimeters at best.
Well, now I'm back and sore from the hike today, if I were to get measured right now, I'm sure I shrunk a foot from the hike today. _________________ SUN_HIKER

I got lost in the ferns somewhere on the Kachina Trail and couldn't find my way out.
