July 5, 2022 Summer doldrums. The fray of thunderstorms stretches and relaxes into days of heat and calm...until the next monsoon frenzy.

Just noticed for the 1st time Brown Crested Flycatchers in our yard. They don't come in close to the house. Just get drinks from the water dishes set up off the ground. Cute little guys with their special hair dos.
Thanks for keeping us up to date on your spot, Ken. Your keen eye, birding expertise, and gifts as a photographer deliver a grand and informative picture of that piece of heaven.
