Page Springs

Spring seemed to be in full swing on a trip to Page Springs today with Common Yellowthroat, Cassin's and Western Kingbirds and Bullock's Orioles adding color and song to the area. Wintering waterfowl have moved on - with just a few Mallards remaining. Temperatures reached 80 degrees. The day's best sighting was a Great Horned Owl followed by a sighting of two downy young in the fork of a tree along the creek. I added 3 new species to end the day on 190 species for 2011.
