For the last few days… there’s been an explosion of hummingbirds; all around one of our feeders. Most seem to be young and are so hungry, they are going through a cup and a half per day. I sit under the feeder and they get used to me after a bit and get back to fighting. At some point, they decide to call a truce so they can all sit and drink but that’s a rare occurrence. I’m also including the greenbelt’s resident Turkey Vulture who regularly soars overhead.

Another week o’ wildlife 7_26_26

Posted on July 27, 2026 by Jabo

Stuck in the cloud/critter rotation but that’s what’s shakin’ lately (along with the heat!). We had another afternoon visit from a bobcat at the water trough and last night I heard it’s “meow” that sounded more like scream mixed with a growl. Haven’t seen many prairie dogs or pack rats though! Also spotted a Great Horned Owl at dusk up in a nearby tree.

Another round of nice clouds, lightning and a colorful sunset. And finally, the view from a favorite greenbelt spot I hiked to this morning.

Cavalcade o’ critters 7_16_26

Posted on July 17, 2026 by Jabo

This week’s creatures spotted around the grounds. It’s especially nice to see the return of the Rufous Hummingbirds. They are the smallest that we get and also the fightiest! Also glad to see a Swainson’s Hawk soaring overhead, a rare sight for me.

Smoke and sunsets 7_8_26

Posted on July 9, 2026 by Jabo

The various fires around New Mexico and Colorado are creating hazy skies depending on the wind direction. I’ve included a shot comparing the views during and after the smoke. It makes for a nice red sunset but looking closer, you can see the burned trees on the mountain tops from the fires that happened 20 years ago. Climate change is a reality that our leaders need to wake up and deal with NOW!

Fourth o’ July Fauna

Posted on July 6, 2026 by Jabo

Some of the local critters who were out on or about the holiday, including the quail chick who Joan rescued from the birdbath and the bobcat who hopefully passed them all by.
