We've been here a week now and have certainly seen fall weather come through the area; wind and rain. Quite a difference from years past when November has been dry. Spring blooms should be something if the wet weather continues.
Nothing too much to write about as we have pretty much settled in for the winter. We have our bird feeders out and have seen quite a bit of action from the normal players: house finch, lesser goldfinch, cactus wren, hummingbirds, curve-bill thrasher, Gambles quail, Gila woodpeckers, and bunnies. The other morning, as I was getting ready to go outside, I spotted this fella sitting on the electrical box of the site next to us. Thankfully, he/she hung out until I could get the camera and put the long lense on to get this shot.
Guess he/she was wanting to do some window shopping but all the birds had flown away as they are apt to do in a hurry when a raptor is close by. Great picture though (Coopers Hawk, we believe) .
We stopped at a bike shop to get some spare tubes for John's bike and picked up a nice map of the bike trails in Tucson. If the weather cooperates this week, we will venture out to do some riding; should be fun.
