Owl – 2020
For the last couple of weeks we have been hearing the familiar hooting sounds of our own personal owl. There haven’t been any replies, so guess he is a loner. I’m not clear if this is our usual guest at … Continue reading

Summer is Over
It’s an addiction, I know. I can’t help myself. My cameras seem to have minds of their own, and one of them always seems at the ready to jump into my hands at the slightest provocation. I had gone out … Continue reading

Bunny Escape Route
The bunnies (mostly cottontails) hop in and out of our yard, taking shelter under our workshop or under the house via a tiny opening around the air conditioner compressor. We’re pretty sure that a squirrel that has been around … Continue reading

Day of the Iguana
We’re not sure if this is the same iguana as was around a couple of weeks ago, but isn’t he magnificent? Love the inclusion of his lovely tail. Many thanks to my son, The Iguana Wrangler, for providing me with … Continue reading
Ladies and Gentleman
These lovely ladies came to call a couple of afternoons ago. It was just at the time of day when that golden glow falls over our world. These two are taking aim at the pomegranate fruits that are on our … Continue reading

What’s So Funny?
Not sure what he was laughing at, but it must have been hilarious!
Two Coyotes
There is a time of day in the late afternoon when our backyard turns a rosegold color. It is very pretty, but as seen here, it makes for peculiar-looking photos. These fine fellows seem to have shown up in front … Continue reading

The Pig Snuffle
A storm is coming across from the mountains and a pair of young collared javelina are scarfing up the fallen acorns beneath one of our oak trees. They were unperturbed by the shining of the flashlight held by my able … Continue reading
Deer Bully Boy
See those rudimentary horns? Well, he thinks he is just THE ONE these days! Last year Mama Deer would come by with two yearlings. Starting a couple of weeks ago, she started coming by with three young’uns, one of which … Continue reading

Coyote-ess, I Think.
Caught a glimpse of this lovely lady (I think it is a lady) coming in for a drink of water late yesterday afternoon. Even though I was inside the house, with all of the doors and windows shut, I swear … Continue reading
Heading for the Hollyhocks
These guys were making a break for it – one of them still in his striped uniform.
Pretty Bird !!
This beautiful bird put on a show for us at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum earlier this month. And, yes, the sky really is that color. This picture is straight out of the camera, except for the cropping out of more … Continue reading

Roadrunner Redux ???
We have been seeing roadrunners prancing around out back for a few months, but for the last few days, they have been coming in closer and closer. Yesterday afternoon they made a preliminary inspection of the hedge where two roadrunner … Continue reading

Bunny Filling Station
This is a not-so-good photo from the critter cam, but I couldn’t resist posting this picture of such a cute little creature! ;->
The Squirrel Emerges
This picture was taken a while ago, but this is the fellow that leads us a merry chase when he appears. There is a bit of a write up on him at “Animals Spotted“.
Cam-Owl-Flage
First it was the woodpeckers, screeching and flying about. Then the Chihuahuan ravens took over, squawking and flapping. We figured there was a snake about somewhere because that’s what we hear from the birds when they are worried about a … Continue reading

Huge Moth
I don’t know what kind of moth this is; maybe it is a butterfly. He was about four or five inches across and velvety black, but the black faded away when I altered the picture a bit to show the … Continue reading

Owl in the Treetop
All morning long we were hearing a faint hoot, hoot, hoot coming in the back door. I made a foray out to see if our friend, the owl baby, had come to visit again, but couldn’t see him anywhere. Time … Continue reading

Baby Great Horned Owl
There was a movement just outside the kitchen window, and I looked up to see this baby owl flutter down onto the crook that is supposed to hold a bird feeder. He didn’t look entirely comfortable, and had his back … Continue reading
