Brian, cornutum is correct. Key stroke error this AM. Thanks for the catch.

Jeff, yep these guys have been on my most desired list for a long time. Right place at the right time. I know they are not uncommon, but getting to AZ/NM at the right time of year has been my problem. The bottom line is this was a rewarding experience. Thanks

5 years...wow! I have seen over a dozen in a morning in Cochise Co. before. Now you found a spot I doubt it will be a 5 year drought again for you.
