| Soaptree Yucca fruit |
On the way back we saw a large group of people hiking on the foothills trail west of Tortugas; there were quite a few of them, more even than are pictured in the image below. On the very last leg of our outing we bumped into our pal Raymond, and then later, when we were nearly back to Whitey the CR-V, we encountered our good friend Jimmy, which made Becca very happy. He and I talked for fifteen or twenty minutes before parting company.

It's amazing how well balanced those birds can be on the yucca and ocotillo branches.
