And now, on to the birds...This is the entrance to probably THE must-do hike for birders and bird photographers in all the Chiricahuas, the walk up South Fork Cave Creek. Here can be found the fabled Elegant Trogon along with Arizona Woodpecker, Blue-Throated Hummingbird...Well, you really get the feeling after walking this road that the possible sightings are endless. It's a driveable dirt road, but the recommendation is to walk (it's 1.3 miles to road end), look, and listen. Don't use any tape recorders or recording devices, though; as the sign on the right says, they're banned from use along the road to protect nesting Trogons.
