Hi folks,
Bob and I spent a couple of hours birding this morning on Mt. Lemmon, stopping at Middle Bear and Incinerator Ridge.
The highlight at Middle Bear was a Scott's Oriole singing almost non-stop atop a dead (or dying?) conifer across the dry creek.
Four different warblers were singing along Incinerator Ridge Rd: Red-faced, Grace's, Black-throated Gray, and Painted Redstart. Red-faced were easy to find and hear the whole time we were up there. We also spotted a single Rock Wren and many Spotted Towhees and Black-headed Grosbeak.
Along the trail at Incinerator Ridge we saw a Yarrow's Spiny Lizard and a Horned Toad I couldn't ID to species.
We saw 30 species of birds in all and enjoyed the nice cool morning as well.
