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
