Desert Birding

Below are some of the better photos I took this morning from the desert near Vizarron.  Lots of Rock Wrens present and 2 Greater Roadrunners (pictured).  Other highlights included my first Black-throated Sparrow, several Canyon Wrens, Blue-throated Hummingbirds, American Robins, Hepatic Tanagers, and many more.  The full list is up on eBird.

Presa Centenario - Waders Building

High water levels at El Centenario at the moment and some marvellous waders.  A little look around the far end on Wednesday evening and I found some huge flocks of Wilson's Phalaropes (2000+), as well as lots of Black-necked Stilts and American Avocets and 15 Baird's Sandpipers.

Also present here were 2 Fulvous Whistling Ducks and 1 Bank Swallow in with hundreds of Barn Swallows.
