SPELL OF THE BLACK RANGE
LEFT: Mildred Fulghum and orphan fawn in yard of Cave Creek home, about 1905. The cave which gave the name to the area can be glimpsed about a mile away, just over the tops of the young juniper trees (looks like a big arch).” The fawn “ belonged to Joe Badger, a good friend and neighbor of ours who had a goat ranch on the Animas Creek about 4 miles north of our Cave Creek home.”
17.The birds: Mildred Rea describes the call of the Canyon Wren accurately, Rock Wrens are also possible in the area. The Blue Jay may have been one of three species; Steller’s Jay, Western Scrub Jay, or Pinyon Jay (she probably saw all three species at her home at the Ingersol). The Orange-breasted Flicker is now The Red- shafted Flicker subspecies of the Northern Flicker.
