A later hike than the past couple-three days—but what a luscious hike it was. Mostly clear, cool to start, fewer mosquitoes, and a bunch of bird species. Captain Jack had plenty of smells to investigate, peed here and there. Spied a hummingbird.
And took photos of a particularly cooperative Field Sparrow. Handsome little birds these are. Thanks, little guy.
