Our Forest Hike Redux

Three-leaf Sumac

Dr. K, Willow and I did the same hike essentially as the one we did yesterday; only difference was I got a gob of mud on my right boot.

Most interesting sighting on the trek was the Northern Flicker-sized bird I photographed on the way in, the one I have as yet to ID.

The weather has been beautiful up here:  high 63F, bright blue sky, brilliant sunshine.

Can barely keep my eyes open
