Tuesday Forest Trek

This & next:  Sacramento Mountains vista

Dr. K, Willow and I had a good hike in the forest behind the cabin this morning.  Weather was a bit warmer with no wind to spoil the conditions.  An Ash-throated Flycatcher (or more than one) seems to be omnipresent for the past few days, and we've seen several both yesterday and today.  Got some pretty decent photos during our outing, most of butterflies on our butterfly bush in the Back 40.

Indra Swallowtail?

This & next:  Empress Leilia?
