Tortugas and the Organs
  | 
Willow, Frio and I hiked out to the same ocotillos that were flowering yesterday to see if we could find hummingbirds frequenting the blossoms.  We stayed for a long while, and, at first, it seemed there'd be no hummer joy.  Just as I was about to encourage the Heelers to move on, though, two hummers showed.
But I never got a chance to get a photo of the birds sucking nectar because they were engaged in a battle royale, chasing each other from branch to branch in an effort to vanquish the other from taking possession of the flowers.  I did photograph each hummer, neither image being a good one.

And then Frio, Willow and I finished the rest of our trek.
