Date: 27 August 2014 Time: 0845 - 1100 Car issues and a cold kept me from heading to Arizona for the week, so despite not being fully healthy yet, I took a walk around Barr to ease my frustration. It was a fairly quick trip from the parking lot at the visitor's center to the boat ramp and back. Some of the notables were a few Olive-sided Flycatchers (some calling), a Common Nighthawk trying to blend in with Franklin's Gulls over the Pioneer trail, two Common Terns, one Clark's Grebe among many Western's, loudly calling Ospreys, and various warblers including American Redstart, Nashville, Tennessee, Wilson's, and Yellow.
On the drive home, on the west side of Tower Road, just north of the Pena Blvd overpasses was a Burrowing Owl. Good luck to all the conventioneers this coming weekend. If you find a juvenile Sharp-tailed Sandpiper out there, please post it. No hoarding rarities.
