Big migration day

A relaxing lunch after an morning of intense birding.

Today the oasis hosted the annual Victor Emanuel Nature Tours (VENT) group. As always, a fun group. We saw plenty of birds to keep everyone on their toes. This leucistic White-crowned Sparrow was quite entertaining.



And great to see a Lark Bunting in full breeding plumage.



An Indigo Bunting seems to be surveying the wreckage of the big tank. Actually, he's probably looking for a safe spot to drink and bathe on his journey north, and couldn't care less about the tank.



The Common Yellowthroat seems to have had his fill of shrimp, and looking to vary his diet.



I focused on helping the visiting parties today with their quests and questions, so didn't pursue taking many photos.I think some visitors got pictures of this lovely male MacGillivray's Warbler, but I only got this poor trail cam shot. 




And I'm exhausted, birding from dawn until after dark. Not complaining. Hope to blog more about great birds in the next few days.
