Pre-Shopping-Day Hike

So eager for a break, she took one in the sun

We shortened our hike a little this morning because I had to go shopping afterward.  Although the weather was gorgeous we saw nobody else around Tortugas Mountain.  There was only one car in the parking lot when we got back.  The tiny yellow bird in the last two images was very difficult to photograph because it was really flightly, flitting from branch to branch before finally taking off.  I've already spent a lot of time trying to identify it, but no luck yet.  (It might be a female Common Yellowthroat.)

Zoom in, and there she is
