With a forecast of heavy snow on Sunday, I abandoned my plans to visit a Gunnison Sage Grouse lek in southern Utah, and instead took an overnight family trip to Phoenix. We stopped at Anthem on both journeys and visited Tempe Town Lake on Friday and the Gilbert Water Ranch and the Phoenix Zoo on Saturday. Friday's highlight was my life Red-necked Grebe, completing the set of North American (and European) grebes. At GWR I saw my first ever Dunlins in Arizona but failed again to find the Brown Thrasher. The Red-necked Grebe was my 6th lifer and the Dunlin my 5th Arizona bird of the year.
