BIRDS OF THE SEASON
Susan Castor
Birds of the Season — September 2025

As usual, June weather was mild.  Surprisingly July was also blessed with relatively cool temperatures, though the deserts were plenty warm.  Despite below average rainfall last winter, most habitat was in decent shape, and many streams held sufficient water.
