We had light rain Friday night and into Saturday morning.
There were clouds and fog over the Catalinas when we woke in the morning.
I took a few photos of the birds I could capture with my baby point and shoot.
Below is my crappy photo of a Wilsons warbler..
I seriously need that Canon with the 50x zoom that many of my friends have.
Though, I don’t know if that would even help.
A butt shot of an Abert’s towhee..
I need to take a one on one class with a photographer..I have been saying this for years..Anyone want to volunteer?
I am sure I can do better than this.
A halfway decent photo of a Verdin
We search the cottonwoods for warblers..
We didn’t find the Black and White warbler that was being seen, though we did see many Orange crowned warblers.
We finished the loop around the wetlands..
Tallied up the bird count with my Ebird app and packed it up to go to one of our favorite coffee shops in town (Bentleys) for a little bite to eat.
