Monday Morning Breeze

Bad photo from distance; male Lesser Goldfinch?

After yesterday's disGUSTing windstorm it was good to get out into the desert on a slightly breezy morning.  Dr. K, Willow and I saw--during our regular trek--the Basset people and their hounds and Pickup-Truck-Lady and her dog; no encounter with either.
