Beatty's B&B is at the end of Miller Canyon Road. For a few dollars Tom Beatty will tell you where all the birds are and let you on to the property. They also have a viewing platform set up for hummingbirds. Tom told us about a Spotted Owl and where to find Red-faced Warblers. It was quite a hike up the canyon but we got lucky on all counts. We even got a Dusky-capped Flycatcher to top it off. One has to be aware while in this canyon as Mexican illegals use the area for smuggling and entry into the USA.

| This Magnificent Hummingbird seems to dislike the mixture. |

| Magnificent again. |

| The trail into the Huachuca Mountains and the birds. |
 |
| We met a few groups returning down the trail but none had seen this Red-faced Warbler. It was the highlight of the trip. |
 |
| Another view. |
 |
| And one more look. |
 |
| This Lizard was a beauty. |

The Spotted Owl. Right where Tom Beatty said it would be.
Someone suggested I post a link to a map of the area. Good idea Joanne.
