Hi, all!
A driving trip up Brushline Road and environs was very productive yesterday;
best bird was Say's Phoebe (THREE no less) along various parts of the route!
Other highlights include a good selection of sparrows (including
Black-throated and Grasshopper), Eared Grebe, and Sandhill Cranes. Pictures
can be seen on my Facebook page:
