...also has a reputation for hard-nosed competition in listing. Fifteen years ago, only about 75 people had seen 600 birds in North America. Now more than 500 have topped that figure, and 75 have seen 700. James Vardaman, a forest-management executive from Jackson, Miss., spent $45,000 and 170 days trying to see 700 birds during 1979.

You go north out of Benson on the Ocotillo Road, cross the train tracks and proceed 2 1/4 miles across a cattle guard to the shot-up mailbox -- SINGING WIND, it says, a careworn advertisement that is easy to miss -- where you hang a right on dirt, continue a quarter of a mile, open a gate, close it behind you and continue another quarter of a mile past horses, cows and a pair of feuding cats. The trail pays out at the ranch house, where Winifred keeps store behind...
