Raptor Morn

Just west of LDR-A

The desert didn't feel as uncomfortable as it did yesterday morning; a steady breeze helped Dr. K, Willow and me bear the weather conditions better.  By the time we finished our trek, though, we were all desirous of the CR-V's air conditioning, which we put on full blast during the short ride home.  Wish I could have gotten better pics of the Swainson's Hawks that were flying around out there today.
