I spent a summer there as a graduate student almost 30 years ago, and I still hope to go back someday. A beautiful place, and a great destination for birdwatchers!

I am taking the Cochise County Master Naturalist class this semester. On Saturdays we take field trips to area labs. Yesterday we routed this place in the Chiricahuas. No research is done here....

The American Museum of Natural History's Southwest Research Station is in a beautiful location high in the sky islands of Southeast Arizona. There's a lot of history here, since the station opened...
