Birds, Words, Pics + TV
During our recent trip to Las Vegas, my wife booked us on a trip to the west rim of the Grand Canyon. It was absolutely amazing.
The west rim is on land owned by the Hualapai Tribe, part of their reservation. It’s definitely less crowded that other parts of the Grand Canyon, which made the trip even more special.
And, of course, I was able to photograph some new birds: Ravens (which are everywhere around the canyon) and a Rock Wren.
Overall, there were shore birds I expected to see and some other birds that I was a bit surprised to find so far away from the mainland.
Many of the Roseates’ nests are located just off the Cypress Boardwalk, giving observers an up-close view of home-improvement projects.
The 11-mile drive is a great place for birding, and that includes during the dog days of summer.
