Still at Granite Gap

It just won’t cool down out at Ajo. It did for few days but then the heat returned. It looks like maybe next week it will start to cool down again. It has been very nice here at Granite Gap. I have lots of hummingbirds at my feeders, but only three species so far.

I don’t think I’ve ever posted a photo of my campsite here at Granite Gap. I’m backed up to some big rocks and a few juniper trees, it gives some shade in late afternoon and protection from southwest winds, which is the prevalent wind direction here. State Highway 80 is about 300 yards behind the rocks, but there is very little traffic.
This Bewick’s Wren posed nicely for me a few days ago, right outside the camper.
This morning I came back from my hike and found this Painted Redstart behind the camper. I’ve never seen one here before. I suppose it is a migrant from the mountains heading south.

Looks like a comfy comfy spot to camp. The rodeo grounds in Ajo are pretty dry right now you might think about 8115. The wash there is looking very nice

Was wondering if you had headed to Ajo yet. I head south soon. Looks like you found a nice place there.
