The Birds of Triunfo
and Lobo Canyons

This list is short on water birds because I don't live near water. I am sure someone who lives along Triunfo Creek could add many more birds to this list. Some of these birds (especially the swallows), I haven't seen in the canyon in many years. Some birds visited us for a single season and then moved on, never to be spotted again. A couple flew by only once, but I was able to get a good (reliable) identification. – Leah Culberg
