Goodyear Arizona. Just west of Phoenix. We’re getting closer to Colorado.
Here for a couple days at a good WiFi park to get some work done. Pulled
in. Parked. Set out a feeder. Got swamped by house sparrows, house
finches, mourning doves, inca doves, and one Bendire’s thrasher. Got a gila
woodpecker. A few grackles. Some white crowned sparrows. It’s a nice
birdy place to hang out in for a couple days. Rags the cat agrees.

We don’t see many owls. When we do see an owl, it’s always a great horned
owl. Except this one. We saw him at the bird lady’s place in Salineno. It’s an eastern screech owl.

Here’s something you don’t see very often. A Brown Jay. Eating an orange. It’s big like a magpie. A rare bird on this side of the border.
