Winter has been good to me so far. We had a very good El Paso CBC on 1 January
with my best bird being a winter Calliope Hummingbird. Yesterday, I went to
Ascarate Park in urban El Paso and photographed the first Winter record of
Zone-tailed Hawk in El Paso County. Also there I saw a female Common Goldeneye,
11 Common Mergansers, and a rare-for-here) Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. I went
then to successfully photograph an urban Lewis's Woodpecker found by Dan
Belcher. Not a bad day in the Patch! Also being seen (but not by me, yet) is a
male Costa's Hummingbird, and yet another Lewis's Woodpecker (invasion?). The
problem with an urban patch is the problem of private residences--not too
chaseable. Photos at Flickr

Good patch birding to all!
