BIRDING AT PATAGONIA

Yesterday Bob and I went to Patagonia because Bob had seen a couple of birds listed on the "list serve" he watches.  One was the Thick-billed Kingbird and the other was the Harris' Sparrow.

We stopped at the area they had been seen, but it was a bust so we headed on over to Patton's.  The picture below shows what a bright blue beautiful day we had. 

On the way to Patton's we saw five Havalina.  They scurried off so fast that this was the best picture I could get of them.

There were Hummingbirds galore at Patton's.

On our way home, we stopped back to see if we could see the Thick-billed Kingbird and luckily it was there.  

A closer view.

We still didn't see the Harris' Sparrow, but we had a great day!
