Horseback Birdwatching

Today it was two in one...horseback riding and birdwatching.
My old horse Rembrandt is great...he will stand on one place when he can eat...so for him this was a treat. He did eat a lot.
For the bigger birds, it is no problem , but when you like to see the Warblers and other smaller birds, it is a challenge and you will get a little bit nausea on the horse...but I took this picture of the nice bay headed Tanager from the horse:
.... but I stepped down  quit a bit...he did not mind that..

It is a nice area along the river Caldera:
I did see nice different birds on the way to our farm ..
