A very warm day today, about 88 this afternoon when I went hiking for about 80 minutes today at Dreamy Draw. Not too many people there today, parking lot was only about half full and most of them were there for what appeared to be a party of some sort at the ramadas. That meant that the trails were very lightly populated this afternoon, which was nice!
This gave me an opportunity to snap a few photos of some birds. The first two photos are of perhaps the most abundant bird species at Dreamy Draw, the Mourning Dove. A favorite of mine, despite their popularity. The third photo is of a Verdin's nest. I watched her building on the nest for a few minutes and followed the bird around the brush but was unable to get a good photo of her. And the last photo is one of my favorites at Dreamy Draw, the Brown-crested Flycatcher.
*Remember that you can enlarge the photos to zoom in and get a better look!
Sunday April 18th: The high temp today was 95! That is well above the average temp for this time of year. But the forecast for the rest of the week is in the 80's.
