Transfer Walk

Today I was itching to hike a bit.  I went up Transfer, hoping to go to my usual hiking spot, but the road was very muddy.  So, I knew I'd be hiking in the mud.  I turned around and came back down the road and hiked lower.  Squatters all over the place up there.  It's getting out of hand.  The BLM needs to stop this nonsense.  They've ridden 4 wheelers all over the place off trails and roads.  It's disgusting to me - like a BLM RV park. Found a cool old can - I'm assuming it was an old tobacco tin.  I left it for someone else to see.  It was sunny and mid 40's - a very nice day.  I'm tired of editing photos, so only shot in Jpegs today.   Canon SX70

Transfer Hike

It was a nice day in the 60's.  Joann and I hiked 5.5 miles at my Transfer spot.  Saw some birds.  Afterward we drove on up to see how far we could get.  We didn't quite make it to the Transfer Pond lower trailhead.  There was a pond in the road.  Others had gone through, but we didn't want to wallow in that mud.  Sony RX10IV

Hart's Basin

We had a great day birding at Hart's Basin.  Avocets, white faced ibis, grebes, pelicans, herons, snowy egrets and even an immature bald eagle to finish things off.  Just think that this is only a fraction of bird species worldwide.  What a creative mind the Lord has!

“Everyone likes birds. What wild creature is more accessible to our eyes and ears, as close to us and everyone in the world, as universal as a bird?”
