Nice list. I did a little birding yesterday but with few surprises. I did
watch an Osprey make a few failed attempts at breakfast and listened to a
blue headed vireo singing.

Daryl,
I'm in Cave Creek Arizona for a wedding(Phoenix). Unfortunately, Not really
birding, here with my wife and sister in law. I did see a kestrel, common
raven and a couple of cactus wrens. Hoping for more.

in hopes of finding migrating Vespers Sparrows. The first bird of the day
was an American Kestrel and then after thirty minutes of searching I managed
to ID a couple of Vespers Sparrows feeding beside a gravel road and later
found more. I also saw a few immature White-crowned, White-throated and
Field Sparrows. Oddly, I didn't see any adult White-crowns today. Other
notables were Red-tailed and Red-shouldered Hawks. The Red-shouldered was
being mobbed by a huge flock of 50+ American Crows. The biggest surprise of
the day was when I flushed a Wilson's Snipe while walking one of the dirt
roads at Southern Gap. Finally, I had a high soaring and calling Common
Raven just before leaving. Later, while getting out of the car at home, I
again heard the low croaking call of a Raven and searched the sky to find
two flying overhead. A new yard bird!

life bird for me. My list follows.
