My Garden Visitors!!

  One of the tools I make sure is in my gardening bag is my camera.   I never know when I'll look up and see a family of quails or a road runner.  Sometimes I see things that are gone before I can take my camera out of the bag!  For instance, I usually have a yard full of bird noises so when it got quiet I looked around to see why, and there perch on top of my trellis was a beautiful Eagle!!  By the time I reached for my camera he was long gone.  Here are some that I did catch.  Enjoy.

Mr and Mrs Quail and a few of their twenty or more babies,  This was a training session.  Mom and Dad went over the curb at this point but the babies had to go back and forth until they found a lower spot that they could manage.

Carl the Cooper Hawk flies in for a drink and all the other birds in the yard get really quiet and hide while he's around.

I know you can't see them, but all the evidence says I have gophers visiting, totally ignoring my No Trespassing signs.

This is Ralph the Roadrunner.  Ralph and his kind are also frequent visitors to my yard.  The lizards all scoot when he shows up.  Not sure how bright he is, I once saw him go up a tree for a bird which promptly flew off just as he got within reach.

Roger the rabbit is so bold, he stopped to pose for this picture.  When he left, all of my pansies were headless.  The plants were not harmed and given time blossomed again,  Roger was planning for the future.

Ida the Spider came by and built her web in my Spider Lily plant.  Not sure if she is an asset but she is beautiful.
