Return to Mingus Mountain (Arizona 2025, Part 8)

Last time I made it to Arizona, I spent a couple of days up in Mingus Mountain, and for this I was back for one day. The hope was to see some new warbler species, but I didn't have any luck on that front.

I started off at the Potato Patch Campground and continued around the mountaintop for a couple hours. The lifer I saw (or at least heard) was a pair of Gray Flycatcher.






Then I went to the parking area of the summit to use a port-a-potty and poke around the trail. There wasn't much to be seen or heard.

Lastly, I sat by Mingus Lake for a little over a half hour watching the Violet-Green Swallows and seeing a few other birds.
