| Summer Tanager at Warm Springs |
Ha! Look what I found! Tucked into a 3 foot tall stack of data was the list of species my NBC crew recorded in Clark County this year, mid-April to mid-June. It had hung on our field house's refrigerator and was carefully tended whenever folks returned. Looking through it again, it brought back more than a few fun memories, and I thought some folks might be interested. It’s certainly not an exhaustive list of what can be found down there – we weren’t hitting hot spots in order to build a list, we were visiting random locations within the County, which sometimes took us to really birdy places, and other times took us to some barren creosote scrub with a couple of Black-throated Sparrows. It was a lot of fun, but – as my crew can attest – there’s a lot of really tough terrain down there! Anyway, here it is …
