Know your Habitat
A series of articles by Larry Liese
Reprinted from the Vermilion Flycatcher, newsletter of the Tucson Audubon Society. Receive the Vermilion Flycatcher by becoming a member of the Friends of Tucson Audubon.


Know Your Habitat is a series of articles by Dastardly Duos author Larry Liese. These articles are designed to help you know what birds to expect in different southeast Arizona habitats, and what birds not to expect! It will be a good guide for locals and out-of-towners alike to help get familiarized with southeast Arizona birding. Larry is a professional birding guide, and a field trip leader and board member for Tucson Audubon Society.
