In Southern Arizona we saw these beautiful birds at Roper Lake state park, someone said they were yellow throated black birds similar to the red winged black bird. We also saw our first quails, so cute with their little curved feathers on top.
We took a day trip to Tombstone where we enjoyed the museum full of old west history: fashion, farming and hangings.
In the town of Bisbee farther south we took the Queen Mine Tour. It's an old copper mine with over 2000 miles of tunnels on 5 levels. Our guide was a miner himself so we got lots of stories. He told us how once the cockroaches in the tunnel became agitated so he and his partner got out of there. When they went back later the tunnel had caved in. Did you know there was a potty car that ran on the mine rails?
