Javelinas at the water hole

Directly across the front yard at the ranch is a ready source of water, so there's often a show out the living room window.

Two nights we've seen javelina strutting down the road, or coming from the back yard to the front to drink. Yesterday, a red tailed hawk paused to take some water. We might have seen loggerhead shrike and others.

Jackrabbits, as big as dogs, frolic in the yard.

We've heard coyotes singing to each other.

We keep an eye out for snakes, but haven't seen any yet.

This morning the mountains were in the clouds and it was cold (for here) so we kept inside until noon.
