A look back at 2024 photos. These are a just a few of my favorite birds and lifers seen in 2024. Arizona locations were the Madera Canyon, Green Valley and the Paton Center.

2. Also at the Madera Canyon we saw lots of the Acorn Woodpeckers. 

3. Another Madera Canyon bird is the Bridled Titmouse. 

4. At the Paton Center, I was happy to see the beautiful Lazuli Buntings. 

5. This is another Madera Canyon bird, the Mexican Jay. 

6. The Costa's Hummingbird was photographed at the Green Valley. 

7. In Alaska, one lifer I was able to get photos of is the Willow Ptarmigan.  

The past year was a joyful one, with the highlight being the arrival of our granddaughter Sophie.
