		Continuing up the canyon there were several other places we could have stopped, including some side canyons where higher altitudes could be accessed.
		However, we were keen to reach the Grand Canyon for sunset so we continued on, pausing briefly at the viewpoint at the top of the pass out of Oak Creek Canyon where we saw Common Raven, Turkey Vultures (although we had seen a few of these en-route) and more White-throated Swifts.
		Ramsey Canyon is one of a series of canyons accessed along roads which are signposted off Highway 92 south of Sierra Vista.

	Parulids through Icterids
		California Towhees (Pipilo crissalis) fly together in a "courtship flight" in the spring - the ratttle at the beginning of this sample is the two birds' wings hitting together.
		The Spring song of an Abert's Towhee is a beautiful combination of wren and robin, and is pretty much reserved for the mating season.
		Two Abert's Towhees fly by engaged in a mock battle in this sample - the rattle at the beginning of the sample is probably vocalization, but could be wing noise - the jury's still out.

		Also, Canyon Towhees are about the same physical size as thrashers so their eggs would not be dramatically bigger.
