June 20, 2015 Saturday Bird Walk
Sunny and warm. 70°F. 2-8 mph. 20 participants.
|
The gap between our starting time and the sun rise was vast today because of tomorrow's solstice. Combined with the warm weather, that spells lessened bird activity on the walk. That is exactly what we found this morning. However, it did allow us to get further up the trail in Skunk Canyon and see or hear the ovenbird, American Redstarts, and our Bird of the Day. Lots of great insect and flower images on the slide show this week. Note: the feast on miller moths over the last month has been replaced by feasting on tree cicadas in Skunk Canyon.
