Visit to the Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch, September 2013

By Joe | Published: October 27, 2013

On September 2, 2013, I visited the Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch (RPWR) in Gilbert, Arizona. I’m just getting around to doing the post.

I got to RPWR early on a Saturday morning. I spent a couple of hours. I was hoping to see some migrating Warblers, and get home before it got too hot. I wasn’t very successful, but I got some OK photographs. Here they are:

Wilson's Warbler

Anna's Hummingbird

Roseate Skimmer

Great-tailed Grackle

Brown-headed Cowbird
