SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Bob and I walked out to see the Burrowing Owls this morning. It's about a one and a half to two mile walk. We got to see one. He was hunkered down so all we could see was his head. We're hoping that more will move in and take up residence.
We started our walk around 7:30 a.m. It was chilly, but we didn't think this chilly!!The sprinklers had been going over on the golf course and they left this frosty tree. On our way back around the walking path we saw a:

ROADRUNNER

GAMBEL'S QUAIL

VERMILION FLYCATCHER

We saw 39 different birds on our walk, and the cactus are starting to bloom so I got some pictures of their beautiful blossoms:

There is nothing like spring in the desert!!
