Hank the Hummer and Old Curved Bill

"O"s
The weather felt a bit better for our morning hike; the temp was lower as was the humidity.

Willow, Frio and I followed our normal route, seeing no other human or canine nature lovers in the process.  We did have an encounter with a hummingbird at the ancient yucca, and, later, we met a cooperative Curve-billed Thrasher who posed for photos on an ocotillo branch in the middle branch arroyo.

Tried out a different fanny pack to carry water on this trek; it was OK, but I don't like fanny packs.
