I drove down to the Arivaca cienega again this morning. The place was loaded with chats, yellow warblers, Lucy’s warblers, tropical kingbirds, blue grosbeaks, hooded orioles, Bullock’s orioles vermilion flycatchers, dusky-capped flycatchers and the special guest, the clay-colored thrush.

The little pond is drying up quickly, and the thrush will likely move on.
