Birds in the Desert and at the Sea

Whether at our campsite, taking a ride, or going for a walk or hike, we try to be aware of our surroundings for interesting animals. We don't always have the camera ready, but here are a few shots.

Sweet water, what a treat!

Hummingbirds have iridescent colors that glow in the sunshine.
