Picture Canyon

On Saturday March 28th I joined Tiffany and Troy for a survey in Picture Canyon. We started at the Raintree Valley end a little after 7:00 and ended at Wildcat around 9:30. The area was quite birdy, but with the expected resident birds and a single Violet-green Swallow and several Black Phoebes were the only arrivals for summer. A flock of 20 Evening Grosbeaks was perhaps the most notable sighting.

Two days later I had a flock of Evening Grosbeaks join the Cassin's Finches in my yard.
