Thirsty visitor 5_22_26

Posted on May 22, 2026 by Jabo

I was about to head out the door to get our mail and luckily saw this bobcat at the bird bath having a long drink. It stayed at the water hole for awhile before sauntering off. I think it may be a female. Males that have come by are larger. This putty cat was a little over 2.5 feet.

The garden 5_26

Posted on May 19, 2026 by Jabo

Our first iris bloomed a few weeks ago and sadly due to the drought, precious few others have done so. We have a scallion that lasted all Winter and grown huge. It’s now blooming so maybe some seeds for the next monster. Our garden beds are mostly planted and the lettuce is going gangbusters. Now kale, spinach, squash and maybe a cabbage are starting to sprout.

Contrails, clouds and copters

Posted on May 2, 2026 by Jabo

And the Moon, of course! I’m cleaning out photos taken over the last few months and contrails seems to be a theme. Now that it has been getting a bit wetter, maybe sunsets will be back!

April families 4_30_26

Posted on April 30, 2026 by Jabo

Once again, I’m happy to see our Red-tailed pair out hunting and hanging by the nest (even got a photo of the hawk chasing prey). There’s also a Brown-headed Cowbird couple who are regulars at the bird feeder. A Western Bluebird was caught munching a caterpillar and we saw a rarer Rocky Mountain Bluebird (they have all light blue breasts with no orange) on our daily walk. This evening, a Kestrel was hovering over the greenbelt. And the coyote pair I’ve photographed recently must have had pups since I snapped the Mom looking thinner and with teats as she was out hunting the Prairie Dogs. Spring is a great time to watch the critters go by!

Rail Trail hike 4_26_26

Posted on April 28, 2026 by Jabo

A new section of our Rail Trail has been improved with a wider trail along with rock walls and erosion control. Not the same nice views as the old trail on the other side of the rail, but much nicer for bike riding (which we plan to do as soon as it warms up and isn’t too windy).
