Colima Warbler
This one was the one for which I got 12 blisters… Working as a pair on the Colima Trail near Boot Spring. We heard several on the way up; saw a glimpse or two here or there; then finally, knockout views (repeated down at Boot Spring, which is where I realized I was not going to get down the mountain without a whole lot more blisters AND bad knees if I went down the steep trail, and even more blisters if I went back the longer, gentler way, which is what I opted to do, having cached a bottle of water there on the way up…)
Previous: Green Kingfisher (For Teresa) Next: Swainson's Hawk
Hope your blisters have since healed!
