King's Canyon Trail
Today I took a hike up the King's Canyon and Gould Mine trails in the Saguaro National Park:
I think I got more than enough sun, as I was a little delerious afterwards. After about 3 liters of water I'm feeling better now. Silly fjord-dwelling Scandinavian me, going out in the sunshine like that.
I think this is a Black-Throated Sparrow. I did not see a road runner, but did manage to spot some of those cute Gambell's quail with the cute crest.

Really nice photos from one of my favorite places on the planet. The first time I visited Saguaro NP was back in 1986 at about this time of year. It was still a national monument back then. The desert was in full bloom, and there was lots of excellent insect and bird viewing. It was my first time in the Sonoran Desert. I remember thinking of it as the enchanted forest because all of the plants looked to me like they should be growing on the bottom of the ocean. Thanks for posting this.
