We hit the hay very early the previous evening so when I woke up early I decided to head out a look at birds. It was a bit chilly but I had long sleeves and the sun was beaming. I walked a total of 2 miles starting a 7 AM and ending at 8. I saw several birds and one new lifebird. Then I got breakfast for me and smuggled something up for Leslie who was trying to get more sleep.

A black Kit
To get to these mountains it takes over an hour
Not that long as the kite flies
Great snow capped mountains
This bird stayed on this post for a long time
Off goes the heron
Poppies!
Barn Swallows
Great acrobatic fliers
The tail looks like a butterfly
Such a beautiful bird
Iridescent blue
