…along about a Saturday night!
I caught Jack Sparrow taking a bath in the irrigation ditch.
Dip. Flap and flutter. ¡Hasta las vista! Paparazzo!”
A Lesser Goldfinch was banging a seed on the branch to get it open and then holding it in its beak before it flew off. Click on photos to enlarge.

Blue Heron. Blue day. Bird shots going my way!

The Rio Grande is flowing high and fast.
This House Finch was really red in the harsh morning sun.
Two House Finches and a Gold Finch
Walter gave me Round eyes this morning.
Willa was sleepy
Nora was sleeping this morning, as well. Osric was nowhere to be seen.
Turkey Vulture
Willa was still sleeping in the evening. Walter ducked down in the nest.
Osric was on a gate waiting for Nore to give him a shopping list.
Not only are the Alpacas shaved, wet, and cold, but the flies are also bothering them.

Our guard hummingbird followed us down to see the owls.
Sunset
Tristan walked out to her car to go to work and discovered a large Diamond Back Rattlesnake beside her car. She when back inside, got her snake stick, and a 5-gallon bucket with a lid, put the snake in the bucket, put the lid on the buck, carried the buck with the snake in it out to the Petroglyph Park, and let the snake go. She said the snake was very calm the whole time.
