Sunflower Goldeneye

I love Sunflower Goldeneyes (Viquiera dentata), as I assume most people do. I may have over-loved them, however. They're everywhere, clogging the paths and making birds impossible to locate. 

Since we'll be off banding hummingbirds the next couple of days, I worked hard yesterday and today to get my work caught up. I was able to spare some water for the above wildlife pond. It doesn't hold all that well, but it'll be nice to have water in it for migrants in October. (Last October is when the Varied Thrush showed up.)

I did find a little time, by skipping a nap and multi-tasking, to photograph damselflies today. May have added a couple of species to the oasis list. Here's what might be an Arroyo Bluet...

And here is a Rambur's Forktail, new to the oasis.
