With brisk weather but bright skies, we spent a morning enjoying a lot of birds at the State Park.
Several Say’s Phoebes were out and about — this one puffed up do to the chilly morning.Cinnamon Teals are common here but not always cooperative for photos.,Vermillion FlycatcherSame guy, different lightingThis hummer, which we think is a Broad-billed, came to another feeder and put on a brief display in the sun. Photographer was not ready.Just as we were leaving, several Verdin, always a favorite, b bounced around the trees, calling away.
It was nice to get back to Patagonia Lake State Park, a true birding hotspot. I even saw the relatively rare Clark’s Grebe who has been hanging out there. It was also nice to bird in sunshine, with more coming.
