Ashie the Ash-throated Flycatcher

 

View from the right branch arroyo

We did our regular Monday morning hike with no added distance; it was a tad warm, and none of us was in the mood for extra mileage.  Nobody else was even in the mood to be out in the desert when we were; we saw no other nature enthusiasts.

We took a short ride after the trek primarily to hear the answer to the daily trivia quiz on Greenie, Mike Greenberg's ESPN show; we often miss the answer because they take so long getting to it and we're already home and done listening to the radio.
