Before heading for the airport, I spent the morning birding nearby areas. I found only more Cinnamon and Green-winged Teal, and a Marsh Wren. Later, we returned the car and boarded our plane for the non-stop flight to Newark, New Jersey. Just before leaving the gate, the pilot announced that there would be a delay because someone forgot to put fuel in the plane! I thought it was nice of him to notice before we took off. We got into Newark late Sunday night after seeing 71 'lifers' and five new subspecies among the 162 total species.
Mammals seen on the trip included Coyote, Western Gray Squirrel, Ground Squirrel, White-tailed Antelope Squirrel, Chipmunk, Brush Rabbit, Desert Cottontail, Bobcat, and the "cinnamon phase" of the Black Bear.
