White crowned sparrows, and house finches(red tinted birds) |
So, a couple days ago, I again moved to another campsite. This site is back down near the wash and the palo verde trees that the quail live in and under!
I was very surprised to see the dingbats moving my fence, swimming pool, and other outside stuff! What a nice bunch!
So today, I was pleased to see a crissal thrasher, coming near the feeder, and saw a few quail coming out of the wash and thinking of coming over to my water and seed. I didn't get a photo, so maybe another day!
Yes, I'm missing the birds in my current site, but the TV reception is nice. When I was in that site, the one you're in right now, is when I saw the Roadrunner walk past so often. I got some good shots of him, and I'll bet he's still coming by. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know about the roadrunner, Thanks!
DeleteI have quail come on my front lawn, usually after I've mowed it. Thankfully (so far) the dogs aren't interested in chasing them. I love seeing them. Unfortunately the feral cats in the area seem to be keeping the population down. Hope you get photos of them soon, I've got some of 'my' quail :)
ReplyDeletePlease show your Quail!
DeleteI don't have feral cats around, and my cat stays indoors!
Those House finches are lovely. We don't get them here (UK). We do have House Sparrows.
ReplyDeleteThe house sparrows were brought to the USA to help control other things, and because they has no natural predators, they soon exploded in their populations!
DeleteThey are pretty little things, aren't they.

It sounds like a good move! I bet you'll have pictures of them soon! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you get some brave quail to venture all the way to your feeder! What fun.
