Add to that multiple quail families with babies ranging from brand new and itty bitty to rangy teens.

A family of older babies hanging out in the shade under a bench with daddio. Smart birds! It’s gotten hot!
These are the itty bitty babies.
Then there’s the backyard bully bird — the Curve-Billed Thrasher. He doesn’t look so mean perched on a pink flamingo a friend gave me from Costco for a birthday present.

Do you have a favorite photo? If so which one?
What’s on the agenda for the first weekend of June?
Your bird population is exploding this year!
The family is going to an archaeological site to our NW to learn about dino’s that roamed here before the Rocky Mtns formed 85 million years ago.
