First Day of the Season October 30, 2013

The weather remains clear, low 70's and gorgeous. Hot off the press. A Gray Catbird was sighted in Borrego Springs an hour ago. Here is a photo of the bird.

We had a nice walk around The Springs RV Park. The highlights included 3 species of herons, including Green, Great White and Black-crowned Night Heron. The young night heron from last year is now a bit darker (it was almost all white last year.
