Nevermore…
“Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!” I shrieked, upstarting—
“Get thee back into the tempest and the Night’s Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken!—quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
‘Tis the season…
Ever wonder where butterflies sleep?
Well, wonder no more. The answer is…in trees.
I love spotting new types of wildlife in the neighborhood…
These guys were enjoying the waning days of summer before heading to Palm Springs for the winter.
Hangin’ with the guys at the mud flat…
Willets and curlews.
Something less slimy…

Bolsa Chica…come for the majestic wildlife…
Stay for the horrible 15 lb. slugs.
Bolsa Chica in July…
Beautiful at any time of the year!
A bold cattle egret. You try to squeeze by him and he just stands there and screeches at you.
Egrets at lunch.
Sunbathers.
Curlew.

Hummingbird home out my window…
Watching this mom and her two little ones was a real kick.
