A short cold front is impending and I think it caused a lot of migrants to delay their northern flight and stop at the oasis. I identified 37 species but I know I missed quite a few.
Most of my day was spent lugging my Canon in hopes of getting a good photo of the Saltbush Sootywing. Couldn't get him to open his wings fully as it was really hot (93°).
I have lived in the Christmas Mountains since 1976, and started my oasis in 1996. For visiting instructions contact me at christmasmountainsoasis@gmail.com
if you are a birder or naturalist. No minors unless pre-approved by me and are avid birders. No pets.(When emailing, be sure to get all 5 s's in the email address or I won't get it.)
