Morning mountains
Mostly overcast this morning when Dr. K, Willow and I did the entire regular route.  Lots of interesting things to see, many of which appear here.  Later, at home, I spotted a Western Tanager land in the mesquite tree outside of our front window; so disappointed not to get a decent photo of this visitor.  They only spend a few days in the Chihuahuan Desert during their migration south to Mexico.  Perhaps he'll be around a few days and I can get a better image of him.
