Elden Spring and Old Walnut Canyon Road

After dropping my son at school I met up with Betsy and Steve to show them how to get to Elden Spring. We went in from St. Moritz and wandered around the area for the best part of two hours. There was a lot of bird activity east of the spring and we watched a Dusky Flycatcher for some time. The warblers would not cooperate but we had good views of Western Tanagers and Black-headed Grosbeaks.

We then decided to check out a spot on Old Walnut Canyon road close to the monument to see if the Purple Martins were in place. We saw several birds at some snags that are much further east than the ones they used many yeas ago.
