We did it in June. Saw the Colima and as sometimes happens, their call got a little old when we were trying to locate different birds in the area. We took the trail the opposite way, figuring that birding was better in the morning in the forested side. The problem w/ the Pinnacle side in June is that it was HOT in the afternoon. And as you can attest, no matter how much water you bring along (and we pack as much as we could comfortably carry) its never enough for that last mile or so. <br />Absolute best birding hike I've ever done. Hope to make it there again with the family. But with a 2 and 6 year old, I do not have patience or the shoulders to drag around. <br />BTW: I think your Sparrow? may have been a Brown Towhee. I have it marked from my trip there as a sighting.Alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13460544275861645860noreply@blogger.com
