[Birdtalk] Trip to South Willow Canyon

[George]

HI BIRDERS,

I AGREE WITH TIM. I OFTEN GO OUT FOR JUST A SHORT TIME AND THINK THAT I
DON'T HAVE MUCH OF A LIST SO I DON'T REPORT IT!
MONDAY I TOOK A QUICK DRIVE OUT TO SOUTH WILLOW CANYON-PLENTY OF CARS AND
CAMPERS.  THE ROAD WAS VERY BUSY, BUT MANAGED TO CALL IN A BLACK-THROATED
GRAY WARBLER, SEVERAL BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHERS, A WILLOW FLYCATCHER, A WESTERN
WOOD-PEWEE, WESTERN TANAGER, BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK, YELLOW WARBLER AND
NUMEROUS BROAD-TAILED HUMMINGBIRDS.  THE HIGHLIGHT WAS A FEMALE TURKEY
RUNNING UP THE ROAD.  THE AREA SEEMED DRY FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR, WITH NO
WATER IN THE CREEK AT LOWER ALTITUDES.  ON THE WAY HOME SAW A FORSTER'S TERN
AND A NUMBER OF "DABBLER" DUCKS.

GOOD LUCK,

SUE HINDE
