Short Visits

On Sunday April 29th we visited the Kachina Wetlands for an hour just before sunset.

It was a disappointing trip in that Killdeer were the only waders (shorebirds) around, but I added three species or the year.

On Saturday May 5th we spent an hour in mid-afternoon at the Walnut Canyon Ponds. The best birds were my first Spotted Sandpiper of the year and my first Belted Kingfisher in Arizona this year. However the highlight was a Valley Pocket Gopher active above ground.
