Hahamongna Watershed Park

We went to Hahamongna Watershed Park in hopes of finding some rarities. Although we didn't find any, we got good views of some early migrants.

Whitewater Preserve

Mike woke Chris up early to go to Whitewater Preserve near Palm Springs. We thought it would be warm but it was a bit chilly.

The best bird we encountered and photographed was the California Thrasher, a new one to us.

There were many ring-necked ducks. Here's a female.

We also saw a road runner and several California Quail, but they were too fast to photograph.
