At the Page Springs fish hatchery, which is in the Lower Oak Creek Canyon Important Bird Area (IBA), I found a pair of Northern Cardinals. During the winter, the bare branches of the trees make it easier to find and photograph these shy birds. (Surprisingly, a bright red bird is difficult to find in a tree full of green leaves).
