Leaning into it

Leaning into it

Still at the base of mesa, we slowly made our way along. We did not want to miss anything! 🙂 But of course, there will be plenty more to discover each time we visit.

Northeast to East

Northeast to East

Slowly, we made our way around the base of the mesa. It was sorta like turning a “corner”. Some of the same yet different. On this side in the past, Black-capped Vireos had nested here. The last pair to nest here was four or five years ago. Before that a pair had nested there in…

A Day in the Field

A Day in the Field

Hearing from several of you, I found that not many got any real rain yesterday. And that was disappointing with all that buildup, eh. Indeed, I took a lot of photos today of interesting stuff. So this will be all today until I can sort through the photos. 🙂 Keep looking! The more you know,…

The yard

The yard

So saying we have a yard anymore, is well, a bit of stretch. We are blessed to live in the country where there are no rules for the “yard”. Thus, we only mow just enough to keep most of the tall plants (grasses and other forbs) about ten to twenty feet from the house these…

From different angles

From different angles

Another animal on my shelf has pupated! And that makes it easier to manage with no more worrying about its food. Now my fingers are crossed that it will successfully emerge some day. This could be in a couple of weeks or it may overwinter to emerge in late spring. So now you know the…
