Second field trip

Another lovely group to enjoy a sweltering, slow day at CMO. Of course, they arrived early in the morning, and left before the worst heat of the day. At least some things are still blooming and Lucifer Hummingbirds are reliable at the feeders. The hills are alive with Big Bend Silverleaf blooms.



And no matter how much I water this Senna Wislizeni, it won't bloom until it rains. That soaker a week ago did the trick. I think it has to do with ions in the water.


Here's what a Black-headed Grosbeak looks like when the thermometer says 102°
