I have met more than a few people who say drippers are great for bringing in birds for photography or just bird watching. And most of them are in Florida where water is not an issue (actually it is but from an over development perspective - they will run out of water for human consumption). So you would think that out here in the northern reaches of the desert birds would come flocking to a dripper strategically placed near a dry wash just a few feet away from nice cover in which the birds - who were certainly all around - could land. Well, one kinglet came close in 3-1/2 hours but that was it. The woodpeckers, flickers, sparrows, wrens, thrashers, and others just stayed away. But I did get some photography in, including this flower that fails to show up on any online guides for Arizona.

And added another new butterfly with this Common Checkered Skipper (along with a couple of additional shots of Western Pygmy-blues).

Tomorrow is another moving day - as soon as I decide where I am going (Gila Bend or Yuma????).
