I've also included the 11/16 observation of the Eared Quetzal and the 11/18 observation of the Crescent-chested Warbler, the only ones I know of for either since the last update. I wonder if the recent cold front that moved through had an effect, or if there are fewer birders looking... I suspect the former. There's another front coming through - who knows what could blow in. Or out.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello,
My name is Eddie Ehrman from the Cincinnati, OH area. I am interested in coming out for a day or two to try and see the Aztec Thrush in Madera Canyon. I have never been to the area and wondered if you have any advice? Local birders who may meet me who know where to look?
My e-mail is eehrman11@insightbb.com I also have a blog at www.bigyearbirding.blogspot.com
Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.
Eddie
Just wanted to let you know about a new web site designed to allow condor watchers and other bird fans a chance to chat with experts and keep updated on the latest news for California condors in California, Arizona and Mexico.
Andrew, this is fascinating! Please tell us more about birds. Why have you stopped posting? The birds need you.
first of all, apologies to eddie and kat for allowing your comments to languish... wasn't aware I had the "moderate comments" setting on.
secondly, my dear sister, I have not posted in a while because a) I've been out of town for 5 months (thus birding in TN, FL, etc but not AZ) and b)google marked this (and a bunch of other blogs) as spam - see story here.
The birds are glad that you are back. I guess Eddie has already come and gone. I hope he saw something worthwhile, like the crescent-chested warbler or the eared quetzal.
I saw a female ruby-throated hummer this morning, in TN. She was hovering over a red car.
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for commenting on my blog. How did you find it?
The maps you make blow my mind!

Hey Scott! Thanks for the link in your blog (though I haven't had time to say much here recently). I think I found your blog via the Carolina listserv, which I follow from time to time. Enjoyed your latest post!
