Hi Everyone- Today 6/20, Marcia Marvin and I did a loop through the Pawnee consisting of CR 96/CR 69/CR 104 winding back to CR 100/CR 77 to Crow Valley Campground. The flower show alone was worth the drive. For birds, we saw 3 Cassin's Sparrows singing from fenceposts along CR 96 and heard another 10 or so. A Grasshopper Sparrow was doing a very low-altitude display flight (fluttering about mere inches above the ground) along CR 96. In the campground, we found an active Orchard Oriole nest. The female brought insects to the nest while the male sang nearby. McCown's Longspurs and Lark Buntings were still doing a lot of displaying.
