I’ve had some interesting sights this week. The desert is bursting alive with blooms. Baby bunnies are everywhere. I had bright red cardinals in my trees. A red-headed woodpecker sucked all the red juice from the hummingbird feeder I hung out and he’s pecked holes to make nests in our saguaro (not our favorite bird.)
We went for a hike in the nature’s preserve across the street and decided to veer off the trails we know. I thought the trail Hawknest would save us time, but it added. It didn’t loop back but headed straight down the preserve away from our house. It’s unsettling to not know where you’ll end up, but finally we found a trail crossing that we knew would lead us back home. Next time, I’ll bring a paper map! The phone was not cutting it.
Our bobcat made an appearance mid-day waltzing through the yard like he owned the place. Sorry I didn’t capture a pic.
What are some of the interesting sights you’ve seen this past week in your neighborhood?
Love the quail! I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in the wild.
Put out the hummingbird feeder today. Fingers crossed I’ll be able to report a sighting in the next week🌺
The quail are all over here. A friend told me how exciting it is to see the babies. I can’t wait! I hope you get hummingbirds and not the selfish woodpecker!
Thank you! If you get the opportunity, be sure to share some baby quail pics with us.
Hmmmm…all the flowers are in bloom. It’s lovely.
Isn’t it amazing how the landscape changes in a few weeks?
I know! People are so much happier right now
