It was a hot day, perhaps that accounts for the relatively fewer birds that showed their faces. Still lots of birds singing. Most of Leo's photos were not successful, but he did take this picture of a western wood pewee.
Bird of the Day!
And nearby was a least flycatcher:
One of the not so great photos
We heard a sora call but it didn't come out to say hello.
This fleabane (?) was growing in abundance.
We ended our outing at the old homestead where the birds were more obliging.
This brewer's blackbird struck a pose
Compare to its cousin the great-tailed grackle, photographed at Roosevelt Lake, Arizona.
And a brown headed cowbird cavorted in the dandelions.
On our drive back to town we had a black bear run across the road. First bear of the year!
