Salt River, December 27, 2017

Mary Ann’s friend Casey from André House is new to Arizona, so we thought we’d take her to see the Salt River. We went to Granite Reef Recreation Area, and then to Coon Bluff Recreation Area. I posted about our trip there about a month ago, and not much has changed since. We saw a lot of wild horses. The Black Phoebes are very common, but I’ve tried many times to get a picture of one in flight without success. This time the Phoebe was active fly-catching, and almost hovered in place like a hummingbird, so I was able to get some in-flight shots (not great, but best of the in-flight Phoebe yet). We saw the Bald Eagles this time. They were across the river, so too far away for a good picture.
