The View From Above

Mr. RC was hanging out high in the blooming ocotillo this morning.  I was happy to catch him in my viewfinder because he was hopping through the whips, hiding behind them most of the time.  I had to quickly follow him on the off chance he would show himself long enough for me to focus on him  and not the whips of the ocotillo.

My neighbor told me she spotted a hooded oriole yesterday so if I have time later I'm going to stick an orange out to draw him to me.  Wish me luck on that one.  Can't wait to get that lovely orange and black bugger!
