My guide, Jake Thompson, took me for a short visit to Santa Gertrudis Lane along the partially above-ground, partially submerged Santa Cruz River, just south of Tumacacori National Historic Park near Tubac in southeastern Arizona. I believe the two species he was wanting me to see, or at least the two lifers I did see, were the gray hawk and the thick-billed kingbird.

| Range from Birds of the World. It is basically a Mexican bird with a little blip into southeastern Arizona and extreme southwestern New Mexico. It is typically found along perennial or intermittent streams and rivers with broader floodplains, near riparian woodland edges and clearings with large sycamores. This describes Santa Gertruda Lane perfectly. |
