Betsy and Steve's

I had an email from Betsy in the morning of Tuesday October 25th telling me of a Gray Catbird in their yard. I then found out that a catbird had been at Willow Bend over the summer - mid-May to mid-August - when I was away and so this bird was not very interesting to others! I went over at about 3pm and Steve immediately found the bird feeding on a Russian Olive. This was a county bird for me.

The following Saturday, October 29th I headed up to Aspen Corner and hiked down to the Arizona Trail, up and around Aspen Loop and back down again, hoping for Clark's Nutcrackers. I had no luck at all, in fact it wasn't at all birdy. I did find a very red Arizona Gray Squirrel.
