I drove to Camp Verde this morning to join a NAAS field trip to Bull Pen Ranch, and when that ended a little early we continued on to the Clear Creek campground itself. I added two summer birds - Plumbeous Vireo and Lucy's Warbler - on this part of the trip and also finally caught up with Canyon Wren. But the highlight of the day was a Western Wood-Pewee which I heard calling and then saw clearly after exiting the restrooms at the rest area on I-17 driving down! This is a very early date for this summer arrival, perhaps a month earlier than expected. I added 4 species for the year, taking my total to 181.
