Hump Day with Frio and Wils

Tortugas Mountain, Organs in the distance
Dr. K went shopping today so it was just Frio, Wils and me on the daily trek.  We did our usual route, including a long off-lead section with the "O"s following closely behind me.

I spotted a Curve-billed Thrasher who was eating Prickly Pear fruit for breakfast, and I was able to get a few good images of it.  One image when it was actually pecking at the pear came out poorly.

It was pretty hot out there this morning, and we were all quite happy to get back to the CR-V after our outing.

I really like the first photo of the Curved-bill Thrasher.
