Needed to be alone with nature this morning. Weather was perfect. So decided to go to Brown's and parking lot was busy at 7am :) . Saw Brian aka SunRay as a pathfinder at TH helping people left and right as well as training a new steward :y: . Thanq for conversing with me Brian. Went to JaneRau and managed to wake up lot of butterflies including many pipevine swallowtails. Headed to Latigo and the whole place was loaded with birds. As the sun came up, it became butterfly wonderland. Didn't realize but Mexican bladder bush is a magnet for sulphurs. Got photos of green tailed towhees finally :y: . Saw a couple of flycatchers that I can't ID yet....but Walter, our bird expert is checking with another bird expert, Troy. Meanwhile had to finish my hike due to other commitments but would have wanted to spend all day there :) . Was thinking we should have picked this trail for our butterfly count :lol:
Got confirmation from Troy that these are brown crested flycatchers. My first :y:
