I wanted to try out my new backpack, so I hiked to a cabin halfway up a local mountain.

A bird near the cabin. I don't know what kind.

New backpack. Quite light. More than half of it contains photographic equipment.

@fabriek Thank you. I checked and it was a gray wagtail.

@swansinflight That's right. I found that while the high center of gravity made it easy to walk, it also made it easy to fall.

@fortescue Thank you. I am very happy with this comment.
