I almost never go anywhere without my camera. Unusual at this elevation so attempted cell phone shots.

The invasive Spotted Lanternfly (trespassing in to the United States) was prosecuted to the fullest extent of my foot.

Known to be in this area. Grasslands with scattered mesquite and chaparral. Plain, nondescript, large sparrow with long rounded tail showing small white tips on the outer rectrices. Observed “skylarking” flight song display by one male.

Too cute! I got to watch these three baby kingbirds sitting there waiting to get fed.

Female seen agitatedly chipping, then later saw her flush off nest. Apparently a first nesting record of the species for Maricopa County. Audio recording of female chipping. Nest ~1.3m high in a Mexican elderberry (Sambucus cerulea) near a seep next to the base of a rock chute in a side canyon of the Hassayampa River, within the Hassayampa River Preserve.

Baby gnatcatchers are so wee!
I also saw and heard an adult male (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/156612810) and female (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/156612897) near this bush.

Wait, since when do creepers come into suburban Tucson?!? Did not expect to see that through the window this morning. A very pleasant surprise.

Woot woot serendipity! We parked at the observatory picnic area and were hiking up the road to the culvert area when Gretchen heard and spotted some gnatcatchers off to the side. Not quite at the historical site but I figured it was wise to check. Black cap but white underside to the tail: it was a black-capped male, in our first 5 minutes! I then scrambled up a little to get some better photos, which paid off in these nice pics but did take a toll: I fell and hurt my shoulder coming back down. :-/ I also have some audio of it calling, along with a blue-gray in the area, and we later saw a pair of black-taileds just a little further down canyon.
Thankfully were then able to help another birder (Adam) find them, and directed another long time searcher to our hotspot so he could hopefully find his white whale.

An interesting find. A dead gambel’s quail away from where they are expected to be. Likely an owl kill.

The capture, measuring, and subsequent release of this individual marked the first U.S. banding for this species .
