10,000 Birds

There was the Botteri’s Sparrow giving a larger Canyon Towhee a piece of its mind, on my way into town: The reservoir itself was underwhelming, only offering me a collection of white Egrets (Cattle, Snowy and Great) and a single Great Blue Heron. This was my fourth and final FOY bird for the day. Brown-backed Solitaire.

Traditionally, the slow season, but the beats have mopped their collective brow and outdone their previous efforts. Cattle Tyrant – Machetornis rixosa. Cattle Egret – Bubulcus ibis. And so to summer. The UK has been birded clean by Tom as he ends his Little Big Year (Part 1). Las Vegas – Sunset Park.
