27 May the mountainous area the cone crop
appeared good for the next late
summer breeding session (on ponderosa
pine)-- about as good as last year in
this area. Crossbills were not heard
along the route.
It was hot & sunny down in
the desert between Clifton and
Willcox, Arizona. I headed S on
666 to about 10 mi. past Pearce,
Arizona where I turned E to
the Chiricahuas (toward Rucker Canyon).
Clouds were above the higher elevations
of the Chiricahuas.
I drove all the way to Rucker Lake
when I turned around. Then I
headed up a jeep trail about 1 mile,
this trail was headed toward the Monte
Vista lookout, & went through a
canyon with a mostly-dry stream.
I found a campsite just at the
point where the stream crossed the road.
