Jack my dog got a clean bill of eye health this morning. Excellent healing of his corneal ulcer. So relieved. Plus, we got to hike together this midday.
Not many bird species on the mountainside—although they did include a Canyon Wren sighting—but the little gang of quail showed up in the neighborhood, and a male perched on a bush and posed for photos.
Also, yet again, a little group of Yellow-rumped Warblers (Audubon’s) flitted through the trees outside my office window.
