After dropping my wife at Sky Harbor I went to the Glendale Recharge Ponds to spend a couple of hours looking through the birds in some excellent shorebird habitat. In all I had 13 species of waders including Stilt and Pectoral Sandpipers, new for the year. There was also some early waterfowl, including 3 Greater White-fronted Geese, but most of the ducks were in dull plumage. The one exception was a pair of beautiful male White-cheeked Pintails. Presumable escaped birds, but a couple of Pacific hurricanes had blown through in the previous week ...
