Couldn't ID this Robin-size blackbird
Becca and I got a fairly early start on the west side of Tortugas Mountain this morning, and I went for nearly half the hike before finding anything of interest to photograph.  Then--as often happens on a desert trek--interesting subjects began presenting themselves.  So, as usual, I took a variety of shots to discover how many were good enough to post on the blog.  My faithful companion Becca doesn't care about any photographs; she just wants to make sure I don't keep her waiting too long while I'm capturing images.
