ME: Kevin, I need to ask you for something, and I know it might be a struggle. KEVIN: Oh? ME: I’m working on a thing… KEVIN: Oh Lord. ME: Fire up Bram Stoker’d Dracula, we’re gonna have to do a goth movie night. KEVIN: 😍 KEVIN: …well, if we must.

Excuse me, did I say you could take a picture? Canyon Towhee on the birdbath outside my window.

A barn swallow keeps swooping around the yard, then landing up under the porch roof, clinging to the wall, and yelling. (Well, screeking.) I have never been this close to a barn swallow before.

Well, the world is terrible and on fire and I don’t know where it will end, but I did manage to get a mediocre photo of a prairie dog today.

UPDATE: The horse appears to belong to the people across the road, who have driven out in an ATV to get the horse. They are now perp-walking him down the road. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

There is a horse loose in the neighborhood. We do not know which neighbor it belongs to. It is just wandering around grazing and occasionally checking fences to see if it’s supposed to be on the other side.

There are two male House Sparrows trying to murder the shit out of each other outside the window. Serious knock-down drag out rolling on the ground clawing for the eyes fight. Never seen that before.

I honestly believe that a rising tide lifts all boats—getting rid of pesticides to save honeybees also helps native bees, for example, and pollinator friendly gardening is good for everybody—but there’s lots of stuff you can do specifically for native…

Native bees are REALLY cool. I have been seeing the most amazing green-eyed bees around here, but they always move too fast for a good photo. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

MOCKINGBIRD UPDATE: At 5am, there was glorious silence. I got up to use the bathroom, and as soon as the toilet flushed, I heard a kind of “whuh?!“ followed by a slurred imitation of a cardinal, followed by a fair clear car alarm and squeaky hinge. Poor…
