Vegas area birding Nov. 2011

These are some images captured during 4 days of birding the Las Vegas area, birding around the big Aviation Nation airshow which was the prime reason of the trip. I did pretty well, including the only lifer I had a shot on the trip, Pacific Wren. Other highlights were only my 2nd time to see Varied Thrushes (my only other being in TN years ago), and long, leisurely looks at a nice covey of Chukars, as well as regionally rare Red-throated Loon and Long-tailed Duck.

Thanks Ron, still quite a bit to add to it but that's most of the goodies anyway!
