I've included the birds from the Sea of Cortez coast in Mexico as many Arizonans travel to Sonora to be near the sea. The photographs were taken in and around San Carlos in Sonora. You will see many of the same species of birds as you see in Southern Arizona, but what you won't see, of course, are the many sea and shore birds.
Now that there is a new road which bypasses Hermosillo, you can drive to San Carlos in about six hours.
