Mike, Bob, Linda, and I hiked six miles starting from the Horse Staging Area. Our route took us out for a short ways on the Long Loop, then up Stoneman Wash. We finished by coming back on the latter portion of the Sport Loop.
Sunrise:
Shortly after sunrise, looking towards the Superstitions. Weaver’s Needle and the Flat Iron are both visible in this photo.
Had I been a little quicker, I would have gotten two birds in this photo. You can see part of the wing and tail disappearing behind the saguaro. A moment earlier, it was perched on the top of the lower arm.
