Early this evening a stop at Mann Reservoir in South Valley Park (a newly designated eBird hot spot) and the adjacent parking lot for the park produced some snow birds: a *Cassin's Kingbird* hunkered with two *Western Kingbirds*, a male *Lark Bunting* along South Valley Road, 2 *American Pipits* (an oddity there), *Gray-headed Junco* (seasonally odd at this location) plus *Vesper* and *Chipping Sparrows*, *Mountain Bluebird*, *Western Bluebird* and a small pile of *Am. Robins*. Another *Vesper*, *Chipping* and 5 *Western Bluebirds* were near my home, foraging along the road edge.
The DFO field trip scheduled for tomorrow to Deer Creek Canyon is still on and spaces have opened up. We meet at 6:30 am at the intersection of South Wadsworth and Deer Creek Rd. Park on the north side of Deer Creek Rd which is just south of C-470. *Participants should register in advance* by this evening. Visit here: https://dfobirds.org/FieldTrips/UpcomingTrips.aspx The original plan of going up the canyon will likely be adjusted due to weather, but I am hopeful for some interesting encounters with migrants due to the snow, provided the weather conditions allow for actual viewing.
