Desert Cardinal Show

This & next 4:  new Faxon Yucca alongside LDR-A

Dr. K had an eye appointment this morning so it was Willow and me on the daily trek.  Two notable discoveries today:  a different Faxon Yucca in bloom and a Pyrrhuloxia (Desert Cardinal) who willingly stayed on one perch while Willow and I sneaked up on it to take photographs; Willow got some really good ones.
