Hello everyone!
Greetings again from the Mojave desert. It's getting warm out here! LOL. We've had a really varied spring; lots of cooler weather and even rain. Anyway, here's a few new bird pics and stuff. I will post these as thumbnails so hopefully this thread will load reasonably fast for those with lesser bandwidth (eg: dial-up). So please, just click on the thumbnail to see the pic full size...if you like. :)
This is a neat bird. The Phenopepla. It has a very mild and pleasant song.
These House Finches are sad - they look sad! - because they just lost their nest and eggs to an invader.
I felt sorry for them.
What a cool and mellow snake, this Rosy Boa (maybe 3 feet long) lives in my front yard. It is a top ranked mouser! LOL.
Another hard working desert bird; the Ladderbacked woodpecker with it's amazing high-speed drilling beak!
Here's another image of the woodpecker - I think it was very aware of me as I was taking the pic.
Alright, here's some flowers to round out the first post.
And this, edited with Gimp using the "cartoon" filter and stuff.
