My comments on the quiet birds in AZ referred to the saguaro and organ
pipe cactus habitat.  Later that trip we moved up into the canyons with
better luck.  That's when we recorded the Flame-colored Tanager and some
other good birds.

They've all gathered in this area (N. California), folks. This was
the richest, densest, longest lasting bird season I can remember in
40 years. Until the first weekend in July, we never had/saw/heard so
many. Now, it's pretty quiet.
