Flagstaff in March and April

Arizona's dry winter meant that we continued to get unusual birds in the area. On March 5th I got to see the Vermilion Flycatcher at Frances Short Pond, but I dipped on the Louisiana Waterthrush that BB and Kathie found at the Walnut Canyon Ponds on April 1st, and which stayed around until the 4th. I looked for it on the 4th without luck, but did see yet another Vermilion Flycatcher, and a Neotropic Cormorant.

Of course many summer birds were arriving and I saw Painted Redstarts at Cave Springs on March 31st, and Red-faced Warblers on April 28th among many others.
