I arrived at the oasis around 8:00 AM. Birders were already there, but I needed to get the watering done before it got too hot and I got too tired. I persevered until around 12:30 PM when I was too exhausted to continue. Went to my quarters and fixed a brunch and took a nap. When I went back out to finish watering shortly after 3 PM, the temperature was 102° and stayed that way until 6 PM. I was really dragging, but needed to get it done since tomorrow is our Big Sit!
I thought the best bird of the day was a Tropical Kingbird even though ebird didn't flag it as rare. At least that's what I think it is based on the white edges of the primary feathers.
Too tired to write more. I'll post after our Big Sit tomorrow.

UPDATE: I think the bird I called a Tropical Kingbird is actually a Western Kingbird that's molting it's white outer tail feathers.

Sorry all! When I sent this out I was on the oasis computer and it doesn't let me copy and paste so I typed out the link and didn't do it right.
I’m loving your blogs - don’t stop!
Have a great BIG SIT today!
