Gary Rosenberg’s tour to the canyonlands of Arizona and Utah has already turned up some nice surprises. On Tuesday he and the group discovered two Common Terns and a juvenile Sabine’s Gull; yesterday they found no fewer than three Sabine’s Gulls in extreme northeastern Arizona, along with a Black-bellied Plover. These are good birds all anywhere in the interior west, but especially so in the arid Four Corners region.

And now on to the White Mountains!
