Nearly Birdless Morning
With the weather due to change significantly for the next week or so, I headed up to La Cumbre Peak this morning. It was very quiet, almost no birds. No Pygmy Nuthatches, no Steller's Jay, no

Farren Rd in the heat
In 4 stops along Farren Rd at which we leisurely scoped, we did not come up with the Scott's Orioles. But we did see 3 Common Ground Doves in 3 different places. Notes on checklist here:

Wild Turkeys and Pacific Wren
All:
I birded Colson Canyon this morning. On the way to Colson, I stopped on Tepusquet Road to marvel at about 110 Wild Turkeys; males strutting their best stuff and females looking very unimpressed.
