Our first visible nest of the Spring. These birds seem to like our casa as they are always hanging around.

Black-chinned Hummingbird 4_28_20

Posted on April 29, 2020 by Jabo

Three of these fellows are now fighting over the feeder. They are also doing the mating flight where they dive and ascend in a u-shape over a resting female while making a buzzing noise. Fun to watch.

Navajo Nation and Dikos Ntsaaígíí-19

Posted on April 26, 2020 by Jabo

Right now, the Navajo Reservation is getting slammed with Covid-19. In New Mexico, they account for almost half of the cases in the state. They are also one of the poorest communities in the US with little health care. They are running out of everything from medical supplies to baby formula and it’s not getting much press with everything else that’s happening lately.

Please go here to help out in whatever way you can… https://www.nndoh.org/donate.html

Birthday during virus (part trois).

Posted on April 24, 2020 by Jabo

I just wanted to share the wonderful birthday card my quarantine buddy made for me. It’s a photo of us at the fabulous Cafe Du Marche on the Rue Cler during a past visit to Paris. Note the real string holding the masks. Totally made my birthday.
