Sierra Vista

We went to the informative meeting on Cochise County this morning and learned a lot. There is quite a bit to see (nature stuff) as well as historical sites relating to the Apaches, Buffalo Soldiers, cowboys, and mining. We were told that there are roughly 500 different types of birds and that as some point during the year, at least 400 types of birds visit Cochise County. This is certainly bird country. Looks like we will be having a very busy week.

After the meeting, we drove down to Sierra Vista and stopped for lunch. We wanted to check out San Pedro House that sits on a nature reserve along the San Pedro River. We're planning on going on a nature walk there Saturday morning and wanted to be sure we knew where we were going. The whole area around here is so different from the Sonoran Desert we've just come from - no saguaros or chollas. The wind certainly has been blowing today and has been rather chilly. Hopefully, the wind will start to cease and we can get back to beautiful Arizona weather.
