We took a hike along the cliff tops then inland to Bear Lake. Vultures and seagulls were gliding on the updraft.

This hawk was soaring above us as we took the walk down the railroad path. We also saw Red-winged Blackbirds by the marsh.

Which flycatcher?

Kestrel departing from saguaro

The spring was cooler than usual and even the June mornings are pleasantly cool in the early morning. This kestrel was watching from the saguaro, but didn’t like me taking a photo. Also saw a fine pyrrhuloxia in a palo verde tree.
