Enjoying a weeknight off I was able to get an early start on the bus ride out to Scottsdale. As soon as I got off the bus I spotted one of the Bald Eagles on a pole along Hayden Road. Got a few pics before she flew off. Next up was a chat with Mark Koster who mentioned that a few immature Bald Eagles have been stopping by also. Off to walk around a little bit. Right away saw a Vermillion Flycatcher, followed it around for a little bit also snagged a Mockingbird on the ground. Took pictures of American Wigeons and Ring Necked Ducks. Walked back to the fishing deck, met back up with Mark and another photographer. While sitting we spotted a Pied Billed Grebe that we had seen earlier. Both Mark and I went and trained our cameras on it and were rewarded with watching as it devoured a large crayfish. A good morning!
