J. Groth 1987 journal 161. May 28 of the Huachucas, past the (Sun) Sunnside Ranch. Up this road, the habitat graded from good grassland (with horned larks) to juniper-oak (few pinions) with Chihuahuan pine (old brown+ new green cones) and finally Apache pine. None of the roads were open into the high country. The road to the Peterson Ranch (see USGS topo) was very bad and barely passable w/ low-range 4WD, and did not go up high enough. I camped at the end of a road that was in a canyon here, but I'm not sure which canyon. May 29 The morning broke clear and sunny. I made breakfast and stayed around my campsite until about 2 this past dawn, when I decided there would be no crossbill activity. I drove to Tucson, got supplies, and from there drove up into the Santa Catalina mountains above Tucson. The weather was only slightly cloudy + hazy. The habitats went from Saguaro cactus
