Another trip up Mount Lemmon

Mount Lemmon, being right outside my door, is easy for me to get to. And, birding this time of the year can be pretty good. However, it has been months since we've had any rain to speak of so everything is dry including streams and creeks on Mount Lemmon. Yet, I found a spot in Rose Canyon where there was still a little water --- very little. And, as such attracted lots of bugs. Which, in turn, attracted birds. So I sat about 15 feet away and watched as one bird after another took turns catching those bugs. Here are some photos:
