Strawberry Pitaya Popping

Wilson's Warbler in our Mesquite Tree

Last November when our friend JC bumped into Becca and me at the far southern end of the high foothills trail he wondered aloud about what the area would look like when springtime rolled around.  Well, I've taken photos of the specific area just to satisfy his curiosity.  I'll make sure he sees this post by sending an email with a link to it.  (By the way, that tiny Warbler in the first image was almost impossible to photograph because of its flighty movements.)
