September hodge podge o’ nature

Posted on September 18, 2025 by Jabo

There’s been an explosion of yellow in the greenbelts due to the blooming Cowpen Daisies and we had a nice rainbow after a nicer rain. Also including some garden flowers and bird visitors along with Tarantulas we spotted on two separate walks. It’s that time of year when they begin their march to who-knows-where! The nights are getting nippy so Fall is fast approaching.

A rainy muddy visit to Panchuela Creek led us to drive up the road to Jack’s Creek where we enjoyed sunshine for the rest of the day. There was a nice view of the clouds drifting over East Pecos Baldy from out picnic spot and plenty of magpies and a coyote rounded out our visit.

Quail, hummingbirds, bees etc.

Catching up on posting after spending time trying to find new photo apps to replace the old dusty ones. Lots of quail still coming by, the hummingbirds are out in force and draining the feeders and we have a good bunch of bumble bees. I’m also posting a short movie of the mayhem that goes on at the hummingbird feeders

Clouds rolled in and the rain came down. A nice half inch downpour was followed by a sunset.

A bevy of August birds 8_12_25

Posted on August 12, 2025 by Jabo

The Hummers are out in force and fighting over the feeders, several Quail families are visiting the bird bath along with Juniper Titmouse and Western Scrub Jays. Top it off with the Tarantula Hawk (really a big wasp that preys on Tarantulas), the official State insect.

And I now have spam filters working so the comments are back on!

Holy Ghost Creek 8_6_25

Posted on August 7, 2025 by Jabo

As always, whenever we need a mental health break from the world; we can head up to Holy Ghost Creek for a wonderful dose of Nature. There were few campers, lots of butterflies and the creek was fantastically frigid. We also spotted a few sphinx moths sipping off the nettles.

After a short hike, we found the forest service stocking rainbow trout for the fishermen. The happy news is the forest looks very healthy and green despite the ongoing drought.

The only sad thing was all the broken glass we picked up from someone who decided to break beer bottles by the side of the creek. All of these small camp sites are particularly susceptible to damage from idiots now that the resources for oversight are drying up.
