Boden Canyon Again

We set the alarm for 4:00 AM this morning to hit the trail early, hoping to avoid the heat.  Our hike was up Boden Canyon again, to place the trail cam, and see what was moving around.  We saw several deer, loads of animal tracks, and no signs of recent human activity.  Here are a few pics we took along the way.

A baby Blainville's Horned Lizard.

 A Brown-headed Cowbird.

 One member of an Acorn Woodpecker colony that was catching insects.  From a distance, we first thought they were swallows!

 A California Sister butterfly.

There were immense swaths of California Buckwheat in bloom.  This is California's largest natural source of honey.
