Today was another hot one as parts of the park were very secluded and in direct sun. It was also pretty quiet bird wise. 2
Steller's Jay let the world know they were there with their raucous call. Soon after I came across a couple of
Blue-Grey Gnatcatcher. These were followed by the first lifer of the day when I picked out a movement at the top of a small tree and out popped 2
JUNIPER TITMOUSE. After visiting the emerald pools and seeing a small
Canyon Tree Frog we needed cooling down with a large ice cream at the visitor centre! Whilst eating it I picked up a couple of lifers in the shape of 3
WESTERN BLUEBIRD and 4+
CHIPPING SPARROW. Once I'd finished eating I went for a closer look and managed a couple of pics and it was while getting the photos 2 small finches flew down close by and I was pleased to see a pair of
LESSER GOLDFINCH. 6+
White-Throated Swift were at the very top of one the cliffs and as I'd noticed on the drive into the park a couple of hummingbird feeders I decided to walk back to the lodgings. This was a good idea as on one of the feeders I found 3 female/juv
BLACK-CHINNED HUMMINGBIRD!
