On Saturday December 29th, I did my usual route through SE Flagstaff with a brief visit t o Walnut Canyon National Monument. I tallied 35 species in this area, starting with a single Yellow-rumped Warbler at Little America and ending at the Purina plant with pigeons, ravens and starlings. The route's bird of the day was a new one for the count, Western Grebe. Two individuals looked out of place, necks back along their bodies in just 10 degrees, among the usual selection of geese and ducks on Lake Elaine.
The count's best bird was a Palm Warbler found by Bea at Willow Bend. With daylight dwindling away, I managed to relocate the bird close to where Shawn had found one in 2010.
