The list from our California Gulch tour, which visited Sonoita, Ruby Road, California Gulch, Montosa Canyon, Amado, Rio Rico, Pena Blanca Lake, and the Patagonia Roadside Rest. Five-striped Sparrow was our target, but we ended up seeing a lot more as we wandered through some of southeast Arizona’s best birding spots.
