I've been birding a bit since a lot of the birds here are new to me. Been doing my best but its like starting over as a new birder when you go to a new area.
These are lousy pictures because my longest lens is only 200 mm and the birds don't care to pose close to me. I've added a number of new birds to my life list and for that I'm happy.
The day we got here we had the opportunity to go down to the fountain park for the Balloon Glow. It was a lovely sight.
I lived in the desert at Las Vegas for 20 years but the Sonoran desert is totally different than the Mojave. I like Sonoran best. There seems to be more vegetation and, of course, the saguaros are so wonderful and majestic.
Gotta run. Things to do since the "kids" are coming over today and preparing dinner for all of us.
Y'all take care.
Oh, have FUN! Isn't it nice to be where it is warm and sunny? And to see new sights, plants and birds? Enjoy your time with your family!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love the Sonoran desert, too. We debated Florida vs. Arizona when we retired, but chose Florida as our family is East Coast and it's easier to get together. But we still visit Arizona each year for a week and have a trip coming up in the spring. Do enjoy your time there- so much to see and do. The Balloon Glow sounds like a lovely event.
ReplyDeleteWhat a change from your usual habitat :-). Hope you get a chance to post more, not an area I know anything about.
