I watched your Arizona videos last year for a whirlwind trip I took in May. Taking friends at the end of April this year. Your various SE Arizona videos were a big help last year, and now that I am more familiar, you will have helped all 4 of us this year! Your videos are informative without being too wordy, and you found enough birds that have us all anxious to be there! Thanks so much for your willingness to share all you find!!

Headed to Arizona in May, I live in the Midwest so I’m going to see a large number of lifetime species. I can’t wait!

Those birds are so cool!!!

Great video again ! Keep twitching !

Beautiful shoots!

Nice video, thanks. Watching in the UK and can't wait to be on vacation in Arizona again.

Awesome video! Great day. Enjoyed the great shots of all the birds.

Great shots and always amazing birds in Madera Canyon. You’ll have to go back to get the Trogon!

Heading there in 3 days, thanks for the sneak preview!

Excellent content, I like the no-nonsense style and the commentary, and the ID thought process :) keep it coming!

I’m doing this trail on Sunday. I’m so excited

We are thinking of building some cabins for bird watchers in Arizona! We live in the mountains above payson. We have some fun birds here like evening gross beaks! This year we have a nest full of red tailed hawks and many more!

Nice work Evertt

Wonderful! I really enjoyed that Broad-billed Hummingbird at 6:17! Thank you for sharing your talent!

This is a great video - really appreciated the information. This was just the right amount of detail for slightly more than a casual birder but not a super serious birder who 'chases' rare, migrating and endemics. Having not yet been to this area, it gives me a great perspective on what to expect in environment as well. Thanks so much!

Amazing video!

Thanks for excellent views of Madera's birds. Wish I was there right now. I think you'll want to know: Gila is pronounced HE-la.

Based on some of those lifers, that turkey might have been as well. That was a Gould's turkey, which have a pretty small distribution in the U.S. Nice video, great place to go.

I stumbled upon this video and it is great! If you're ever in SE AZ again let us at Tucson Audubon know and we'll show you around. Also, looks/sounds like your gnatcatcher at the beginning is a Black-capped Gnatcatcher, they nest along the Proctor trail and it's a great bird. Your mystery bird could be a Lark Bunting going through molt?

Sweet video! I need to get out west to bird!

Thank you!

Excellent birding in Arizona. Most are all new species for me comparing with Florida. I should consider a birding trip to Arizona.

Thanks for sharing this video. You were exactly where we would like to be in the near future! . Appreciate the opportunity to take this birding hike with you as we endure one more winter in Ohio. Enjoyed your quiet voice simply naming the birds. However, you might want to check the correct pronunciations for Gila (Hee"la) and Grosbeak (with a long O in first syllable).

Muy bueno, te saludo desde España

Really enjoy your birding videos. What camera are you using? I think a camera could help with some of my IDs especially when visiting a new area.

Have you given any thought to Lark Bunting for the mystery bird?

I gotta go!

Great place, huh? It's Heela Woodpecker, by the way.

The “Rufous-crowned Sparrow” is actually a Chipping

3:55 Another Rufous-winged Sparrow I think

Nice. You did this in August? Are this many varieteis there all year round.

Bird at 4:29 Bells vireo, I believe.

5:19 Swainson’s hawk (light morph). Note that white forehead.

Mystery bird at 2:05 looks like lark bunting

2:07 Lark Bunting -- molting male

2:35 Looks like a Painted Bunting (female) albeit a little bit of a weird bird

Gila is pronounced with a H not a G
