Hello,
It was one of "those" mornings, where everything seemed to be really
hopping. The bird walk started off by getting nice looks at a pair of
perching *Swainson's Hawks*, who spent some time preening and stretching in
a mesquite.

This one looks quite affronted:

It was a very active morning as far as *Turdus* species were
concerned. *Clay-colored
Thrushes* were everywhere, bathing and cleaning out the feeders.
Surprisingly, we also had an out of season *American Robin *show up
(juvenile bird)!
