I was in Canada for this walk so the group headed out without me. Thanks to all who participated and helped others with the walk. Thanks to Neal Zaun for sending me the bird list and some of the images for the slide show.

Green-Tailed Towhee      
Green-Tailed Towhee often seems like it is Bird of the Day when we go to Skunk Canyon. It is a great place to see, and or, hear these birds. But if you want to actually see one you better go fast because pretty soon you are more likely to only hear them. As nesting season moves toward parenting and away from territorial matters both spotted and green-tailed towhees are far less conspicuous.
