Monarchs still hightailing it out of town for the winter. Such a beautiful creature.

I saw a stellar Steller's jay yesterday.
This concludes your Coconino County bird and flying insect report.

Offense?! I have long coveted the Lanterne Rouge.

And I just missed the following podium.
The broad winged was one of my faves. I don’t think they are here. The common black hawk is built similarly. It is common and it is black, except for the banded tail.
Nice pics.

re: pic from previous page. There was a woman there, 4th from the left. Very good climber and I refer to her as the Hammer Princess because she is so obsessive. I won't tell her you thought she was a dude.

An hour on the MTB today w a fair bit of climbing. I did not take my Wahoo and rode "unplugged" so it did not further contribute to my leaderboard dominance. TSB at -25... epic. Had a lot to drink yesterday evening too during my sister's baby shower. I'm freaking smoked man. Looking fwd to resting up this week and taking it easier on the bike. I think I'll feel recharged after a couple nights of quality sleep.
The week after next - FTP test and its game time! Time to get fit.

I’m not usually one to blame the officiating, but the Eagles got robbed of a chance to win the game on the penultimate play. If that wasn’t pass interference then nothing is.
