Lovely oasis day


Temperatures are perfect in the mornings. Every day a few migrants trickle in. Today I had a Cassin's Vireo. It was way high in the cottonwood tree so my photos aren't good, but it definitely had some yellow in the flanks, etc.


Hardly any hummers. I felt lucky to even see one Lucifer, although I was busy watering trees and not watching very closely. Had a couple of Dickcissels today.


Still hardly any butterflies, and no interesting odes. I think the rains came too late in the year. Maybe next year.


On the way to town today I stopped off at Calamity Creek. It was running nicely, but I couldn't locate one single dragonfly.
