Phoenix Anyone?
I am flying to Phoenix, AZ next Tuesday and am looking for a place to stay for nine nights (arrive 2 JAN, depart 12 JAN) in exchange for bird photography and Photoshop lessons. If you know any of the good spots, I would love to hear from you as well. I am especially looking for drake Green-winged Teal and Canvasbacks. If you live there but do not have a place for me to stay, let me know if you would like to get out photographing with me at your favorite productive spot. If you have anything to share, shoot me an e-mail.
with love, artie
Hi Artie, I am in that area every March, I always go to these 2 places in Gilbert. I shoot burrowing owls at Zanjero Park.

Good Luck, I wish you were going in March. Mike
Many thanks. With love, artie
I was there a few weeks ago. You could have shared my king bed at the Super 8 … 😉 Maybe next time more lead time ….

Hi Artie,
Two good places for waterfowl in the Phoenix area are water reclamation sites.
#1 Gilbert Water Ranch.
#2 Tucson Sweetwater.
Look them up on the internet

When I was in Phoenix, we went to the zoo, I think, they had a hawk flight demo.
That would be a good spot.
