With plans for dinner with old friend Clarice and her husband, and the likelihood of nasty weather the following day, I decided to bird Sweetwater before backtracking for dinner. The thousands of mostly Northern Shovelers were in constant motion. Cinnamon Teal are always a treat. Both Yellow-rumped and Orange-crowned Warblers bounced around in the wind. A juvenile Harris' Hawk posed nicely for me. After dinner, despite the nice invitation from Bob and Clarice to stay at their place, I headed to the north side of Tucson for the night in hopes of beating the weather the next day.
Here are some photos from Sweetwater:
