This morning seemed like our "first" winter bird walk of the season. It was a beautiful morning with the clouds of Thursday's storm breaking up. Even though the temperature did not change, the sun coming out made the morning spectacular.

Bird of the Day
November 23, 2013 Saturday Bird Walk

Mountain Bluebird

Mountain Bluebird  
  Certainly, not the rarest bird we saw today, but it put on quite a show at the edge of Lagerman Reservoir. A small number of mountain bluebirds overwinter in our area. Look for them at Rabbit Mountain, Buckingham Park, Enchanted Mesa, and now Lagerman Reservoir.
