This evening, we took the dogs to Fort Lowell park a little before 6 pm.
Just as we walked from the parking lot to the grass, a huge gust of wind
and dust blasted us from the south! Enough to make us quickly move away
from any of the large trees, and out onto the grassy field west of the
pond.
We took an abbreviated walk, but we did get to see a large flock
feeding out in the grass closer to Craycroft. Many house finches, but
also over 100 Lark Sparrows. Nice to see greater numbers tonight.
We were also graced with a male Western Tanager at our water feature this
morning. Love migration!
