Boyce Thompson Arboretum

The Boyce Thompson Arboretum is about 60 miles east of Phoenix on the southwest edge of the Tonto National Forest off of US-60. It is easy to get to and it is worth the visit.

Besides all the plants (especially cacti), I found quite a few birds. For example, juvenile Pyrrhuloxia, Curve-billed thrasher, quite a few different hummingbirds, Albert's Towhee, Black-necked Stilts, Long-billed Dowitchers, egrets, etc.
