The idea was hatched during our long drive home from our successful Operation PhotoTrogon adventure to Arizona. Rich Brown and I decided that our next adventure would be to the Eastern Sierra Nevada in search of a variety of mountain and desert species. As we chatted, bird species such as Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch, Greater Sage-Grouse, Hermit Warbler and Black-backed Woodpecker were established as target birds. Early Monday morning, June 13, 2022 at around 4:30 AM, Rich and I rendezvoused in Turlock and headed east.
