Our next stop was Catalina State Park, a new park because we've never been able to get a reservation before.
Even though we made reservations a year ahead we were only able to get a spot in the overflow lot. (Though according to the camp hosts ours is one of the best sites in the whole campground.
Most of the sites are just lined up next to each other like in a parking lot but we were able to angle our trailers to block off a private spot with no views of the neighbours.
And the spot next to us was empty most of the week even though they had a permanent sign at the park entrance "campground full, no overflow."
We put up the hummingbird feeder and had Costa's, Anna's and broadbilled hummingbirds (Bird of the Day!)visit us all week.
Our camphosts and their friends were accomplished old time musicians who would hold jam sessions with any musicians who showed up at the campsite. They even invited Leo to play his small pipes although he can't play very well with others. (Too loud, weird key).
We had just a short walk down the bridal trail to a spot full of typical desert birds. Three kinds of towhees, rufous-winged sparrows, pyrrhuloxias, Gila and ladder-backed woodpeckers.
