And then we drove to the Chiricahua National Monument in far southeastern Arizona. We had been told that the area was great for birding, and it was, but it was so much more - a very beautiful and magical place. Different Native American tribes had different names for this place:  The land of standing up rocks; The place where turkeys live.
