March 17 - Madera Canyon and the birds

Now Lupita (our RV registration LUP111) is feeling good again, we are off south to stay at a notable bird area at Madera Canyon in the Santa Cruz mountains. We get lucky as someone is checking out of their campsite late and spend 3 lovely days there, hiking, watching many birds, especially hummers. Most hikes are straight up the canyon walls, relentless climbs, but views of  Mt.Wrightson reward.
  I've taken to playing my flute at nights and neighbors come b to say how much they like it. I plan the sunrise and sunset Zuni tunes as well as some more recognizable. My red tablecloth weight hung in the tree attracts hummers but it would be nice to have a feeder instead!
  WE are enjoying eating lightly in this heat. The asparagus is 87c a pound so we are gorging on those all the time. Strawberries also as low as  89c a pound sometimes. Otherwise $2.
