Persistent Pyrrhuloxia et al.

Morning sky
Dr. K, Willow and I had a decent hike this morning.  The temperature was 70F, with variable skies and just a little breeze.  Best part of the outing was carefully tracking the Desert Cardinal that was chirping its head off.  I got some fairly decent pics of the beautiful bird.  We saw the Pickup Truck lady and her dog at quite a distance from us as we were starting down LDR-A, but we spotted no other nature enthusiasts.
