Friday, June 16, 2017 & Monday June 19, 2016
Arriving early enough in our June heat wave to enjoy the calm cool morning, the Salt River was a good choice to visit. Just ask the wild horses.

On Friday, I birded solo; on Monday, Marsha Wiles and Hinde Silver joined me.

Photos below were taken at Coon Bluff near picnic area. Good place to see them this time of year.

| Not quite sure what this TURKEY VULTURE was looking for in the Salt River--just staying cool, maybe. |
Before we left Phon D. Sutton Rec Area, the horses, accustomed to photographers, came up out of the river to their desert trail right beside us.
