I snuck out of the house early Thanksgiving morning to do a little hometown birding at Seven Springs Recreation Area. As my dad would say, birdsong echoed through the air like a symphony.
It wasn’t until I sat low on the ground that I spotted a small army of Black-throated Sparrows in the surrounding shrubs.
Observing these birds was a delight. Throughout the morning, I tallied up a Ladder-backed Woodpecker, Harris’s Hawk, Cooper’s Hawk, Western Bluebirds, White-crowned Sparrows, Canyon Towhees, and Northern Cardinals.
Nothing like desert birding on a cool morning to celebrate Thanksgiving and sit with gratitude. Happy days!
