Sighting

This morning, beautiful Mountain Bluebirds in the southern fields on Sunland Indian Res. Rd., past the creek. Everywhere I looked, there were Bluebirds on the ground. A handful of Savannah Sparrows in the willows, lots of Ferruginous and Red-tailed Hawks as well as the Merlin. With all the Horned Larks and Bluebirds, I think the Merlin is finding good eats. I also spotted a Bewick's Wren flashing its long tail as it jumped around the rabbit brush and sage.
