Started at 8:00 a.m. at Galisteo and birded the area until 10:15 a.m. It is still just a bit slow, but things are definitely on the move!
The EASTERN PHOEBE was back down along the creek and I was finally able to get a pic of it. I picked up three Santa Fe County year birds today including a very yellow and colorful ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER. I also picked up a female type LAZULI BUNTING and two handsome male COMMON YELLOWTHROATS. That brings the year SFC year list up to 149.
