1st 2: Swainson's Hawk
|
A tad chilly when we started off this morning (48F), but that soon changed as the sun heated up the desert floor.
Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I did our usual hike spotting only a man and woman running down LDR in the distance. We saw many birds, the most notable of which was a Swainson's Hawk sitting atop a blooming yucca on the ridgeline west of the Organ Mountains.
After our trek we took a drive around various neighborhoods while listening to Sunday Morning with Matt Jones and Myron Medcalf.
After we'd been home for a bit I took Frio out in the Jeep in order to get gas: $46 for two-thirds of a tank.
