Walnut Canyon

There were many reports of Sabine's Gulls in Arizona in the first half of September. This included one that Tom found on the Walnut Canyon Ponds on Wednesday September 18th. I hd dno tiem to chase that day but went after my swim on Thursday morning and found it quietly sitting on the water on the far pond. Indeed the bird was so cooperative that I went back later that day with my camera. The bird had moved to the nearer pond but again stayed peacefully on the water.
