Someone there told me they had a nest in the transformer across the street, but I have not seen them since. I live down by fire station #2 on Main and ever since last winter, we have had a large owl in our neighborhood in the night. My husband saw him and he had a wing span of over five feet. He thinks it's a Great Horned Owl, but you can't get close enough to him to see his face. He is after mice and rats and is doing a really good job! They used to band the Painted Buntings at Joe Pool Lake in the spring. You might check and see if they're still doing this.

I found your blog by following the link in the UBC Botanical Garden Forum. Unfortunately I can't help with the identification of the plant you posted there but I hope someone will eventually. Are you in Cameroon right now? Stunning photographs and I blog I will visit as often as time and internet connection will allow….

My husband and I saw a ladder-backed woodpecker in Saguaro National Park today. I also have them in the desert surrounding my home. Love the spoonbills! Glad you discovered your love of birding. I also have loved birds since I was a child but when I was 16 I met a woman named Trudy who is a deaf ornithologist. She gave me my first bird guide and we have been friends ever since. She is 98 years old now and we email each other all the time! Birders make good friends! David, Nice photos and nice blog.
