The Nature Conservancy has done an amazing job of reintroducing the endangered Chiricahua Leopard frog into these ponds in Ramsey Canyon. They are thriving! Sound up for frogs songs!

I thought it was a baby king snake that had ended up in our house somehow. As I’m holding him my husband is repeating the phrase “Red and yellow kill a fellow…”. Whoops.

It doesn’t feel like national news is widely reporting what is happening in Spokane, WA. It is incredibly serious. My daughter took this from her front yard yesterday. They are on the cusp of a level 3 area.

This White Wing Dove mama is currently on her second set of babies in my Arizona cypress tree. I've gained a whole new appreciation for this species watching what a great mom she's been.

Pena Blanca Lake, just to the northwest of Nogales, AZ. It’s a natural lake in an otherwise very dry desert. A well kept secret by frequented by locals.

I’ve been supplementing the seed source for this mom and babies in the neighborhood. Getting a good shot of them has been challenging so far. Hopefully the attrition rate will be low for this family of quail.
