Whenever I walk by I throw up an eye at the roadrunner on the pottingshed roof, and they are still on the nest. It must be getting warm up there, as our temperatures are now in the 80's. The cactus wrens on the porch, across from the kitchen window, must have hatched their eggs because there is a lot of flying back and forth with bugs, moths, and other insects. Both parents are very busy, and the porch is meticulously clean. These birds are thorough, and do not hesitate to even investigate inside the dog towel that is hanging on a porch chair.
The ground squirrels have released their brood on the world, and it is great entertainment to watch the little "debbels", as we call, them explore the environment. They box, they roll, they chase, and everything is tried and investigated. This one is eating young shoots of the pencil cholla. Spines not withstanding.

Love to Roadie. She must be raising quite a brood. Can't wait to see the little roadies, too.
