Farther along on our route in the Sheridan area, there is a small dug "fire" pond. Today a Black Phoebe was hanging out nearby, preening.







It was a beautiful day for a drive but we were still under the weather from the colds we are recovering from. The kites and eagle nest and phoebe were great spirit lifters.
