First Week

I started the year by watching my feeders, scanning the lakes in Country Club and making a quick stop at Walnut Canyon National Monument. This gave me a total of 41 species in the first four days of January.

On Saturday 5th we drove to Phoenix and made a stop at Tempe Town Lake where Brown Pelican was the best bird. On Sunday we stopped at Gilbert Water Ranch and Camelback Lake before heading up. The best bird at Gilbert was a flock of Rosy-faced Lovebirds, a bird I failed to find on 4 visits in 2012. At Camelback Lake it was good to see Snow and Ross's Geese side-by-side.
