Deer tracks & phainopeplas

    We took a short hike down the Bear Canyon trail at Sabino Canyon this Sunday - beautiful hiking weather, and good birding.  The Phainopeplas have arrived, we saw at least 5 birds on our short walk to the creek.  We ate our snack under the shade of some large cottonwoods, and down at the creek we saw many deer prints.  That must be why its in the high danger area for Mountain Lions!  But we didn't see any lions or deer, just birds and a rather bold rabbit.    Bear Canyon is a nice trail that connects to the nature trail behind the visitors center.  Because its not on the tram path, it makes a more peaceful hike, and this section is quite flat and easy for all ages.
