Yellow Headed Blackbird


Nearing Tonopah, on the way to GBNP, I paused at a Rest Stop for snack, lunch meat sandwich from Lee Vining Mobil!...Pigeons about...McDonald's Sparrows (the Sparrows that are always by MacDonald's, it seems!), and a new bird, for me, Yellow Headed Blackbird...several Blackbirds perched in Tamarask?...at Lunch: sat awhile at Ozone Beach (Sandpiper's looked to have left)...Four Mallards, Young Merganser, Robins, Blue Jay...quiet....sunny hot blue, some hazy clouds....it was Low Desert at the Stop...on the approach, landscape had the look of Death Valley...each Basin was unique, from high to low Desert flora...
