Tuesday Bird Walk – Anza Trail—Tubac, Tubac Golf Resort Trail - 25-Mar-25

Hi All

Nice and warm day today. We had 35 people so we divided into 3 groups. Marianne walked the trail to the golf resort, Caroline walked Bridge Rd and back along the trail, and Rob took the loop trail. 13 people followed me into the woods where we soon found the Zone Tailed Hawk in their nesting tree near the loop trail. Then we got to see a Common Black Hawk flying with some Turkey Vultures, then the Gray Hawks got in the mix and were circling overhead. Then my favorite little flycatcher started calling, the little Northern Beardless-Tyrannulet with its loud peer, peer, peer call. Such a loud call from such a little bird. Hermit thrushes were seen and then more Gray Hawks and Common Black Hawks being harassed by Common Ravens. Caroline also had plenty of hawks, with the Common Black Hawk as their favorite. Marianne had good looks at a Common Yellowthroat, flitting up and down along the bank of the river north of the gate. Not a bad list for early spring.

We had a total of 47 species. The Trip Report is located here: https://ebird.org/tripreport/344722
