Arizona February 2025...post #1

 It seems like I only post here once a year now and usually after I get back from Arizona.  Once again this year I saw lots of lovely things.  A few birds I had never seen before...always nice to add to my life list!  And the Bobcat came to visit on two different days so I was very excited about that!  I'll start with the bobcat.

Right before the Super Bowl was about to start we looked out the window and a bobcat had jumped over the wall and decided to take a nap in my sister's backyard!

It was really tired and laid down and snoozed for  20 minutes or so.  Naturally I took dozens of photos.

A cardinal keeping watch right over its head.

A dove decided to land in the yard....see below....and it immediately rolled over and was wide awake!
Watching.


I think it decided it wasn't worth the effort to go for the dove and it just yawned and laid down again.
Two days later we were getting ready to leave...the camera was all packed up...and it showed up again with a friend!  Had to hurry and dig out the camera.

Big stretch!

They hopped over the wall and were gone fairly quickly.
Always exciting to see these creatures up close.  Not something I see at home!
..........
I will post several more posts with birds we saw this year.
