Little Colorado River 5/2 miles W. Holbrook, Navajo Co., Arizona, Elevation: 5050 ft
Goldfinches seen much scarcer today. But by moving my nets twice in the period I had them up (06:05 - 11:30),
I obtained a handful of lesser goldfinches today. But walking around too grous, I think it a case of diminishing returns
on my time, and after putting up birds, cleaning up and
packing up, I am looking for SE Arizona tonight.
Weather today was virtually identical to yesterday's (q.v.).
