Cave Springs

I took a family trip to Cave Springs on Saturday March 31st hoping to see some new arrivals and we managed to find Violet-green Swallow, Painted Redstart, Yellow Warbler, Broad-tailed Hummingbird and Common Black-Hawk. The redstarts and flickers were singing but spring was clearly not in full flow at this cooler place in Oak Creek Canyon.

In the afternoon I went to the golf course in search of the Eurasian Wigeon that I had last seen on December 31st but which had been seen by others in the past week. I failed to find this bird, but ran into a pair of Mule Deer.
