The walk started cloudy but when the sun came out it warmed nicely. Most of the walk into the canyon was quiet but at the end we found a nice mixed flock. For photos and a complete list see the Trip Report.
Out birding Sunday with friends and counted 8 TVs soaring toward the Sierras ranging from Fey Canyon to Genoa Peak. 5 Bald Eagles around the calving herds.

Yesterday, on a trip to Smith Valley and Antelope Valley, we encountered several Turkey Vultures off of Hwy. 395 south of Gardnerville and in Washoe Valley on our return trip. Otherwise, spring migrants were few on a windy cold late winter day. We did encounter many desert birds, including dove, Spotted Towhees, No. Harriers, lots of robins, Red-tailed and Sharp-shinned Hawks, and ravens on the first part of our trip. A treat were the Cassin’s Finches in the Pinyon Juniper woodlands on the east slopes of the Sweetwaters. While the dirt roads we were driving were still a bit muddy from our recent storms and snowmelt, we did find a cross-range road through the northern end of the Sweetwater Range from Smith Valley to Antelope Valley, through Pinyon Juniper woodlands - good habitat for Pinyon Jays..
We were surprised at the diversity of ducks at Topaz Lake - Bufflehead, Ruddy Duck, No. Shoverlers, Gadwall, Green-winged and Cinnamon Teal, and Lesser Scaup. In addition, there were Canada Goose around the shoreline and in the pastures surrounding the Lake, a flock of California gulls, Western and Eared Grebes, Say’s Phoebe, magpies, shrikes, a Black Phoebe and a scrub-jay (CA or Woodhouse?).
