Here at the campground, the river is low and quiet in the morning. We
paddle upstream then drift down past the campground and around the bend.
The campground is desert, but lush desert. It’s like Organ Pipe Cactus
National Monument, but with a river.

Moved on. A couple days in Parker. We’re getting closer to Colorado.
Judy’s sister Sue lives here on the river. Sitting on Sue and John’s deck watching the river go by. Coots, a black
phoebe flycatching insects from the dock, bufflehead, goldeneye. Color in
the west. Flocks of egrets flying home to roost. Full moon rising.

Had a close encounter with a red tail hawk.

Found a marbled godwit along the beach.

We got this cactus wren from a bird blind in Falcon State Park.
