Thanks Matt for sharing these great photos of Arizona birds. The Painted
Redstart is terrific, among lots of other eye-catchers (Broad-billed
Hummingbird, Vermillion Flycatcher!) and birds we never see. Thank you for
selecting these photos for us, and for the nice close-up of that Snow Goose at
Ford's Pond. These are looks (in good light too) that a person seldom gets of
moving birds through binoculars. Mikeal
