April went very poorly for me and I only managed to add 9 bird species despite clear spring migration. In part this was due to me being busy at work, but I made a number of visits to Elden Springs and Cave Springs without much luck: It has been very windy recently. I missed the chance of reaching 200 by failing to find a message on my answering machine. Two tern species and three waders - two of them potential state birds for me - had been present at Mormon Lake on Saturday April 30th. I chased them this morning - along with 7 other northern Arizona birders - but they were gone!
I added a couple of mammals - Muskrat and Cliff Chipmunk - and a couple of herps - Common Kingsnake and Whiptail.
