The highlands of Santa Cruz where wet for the first time in many weeks. The cows were smiling, the finches were singing and our rubber boots became useful again. Walking on Steve Devine's Farm we found a good number of Land Tortoises, and we just caught them packing and getting ready for their yearly migration to the Lowlands. Looking to the right, we get to see a Vermillion Flycatcher that obviously is also happy to greet the new season.
