Backyard Birds

This may look like just a regular bird, but it is an Abert's Towhee. They are only found in the Southwest, and they visit my yard every morning. They are the culprits that were eating my sunflower seeds when I first planted my vegetable garden.
This morning few Gambel's Quail, wandered into the yard. That was a nice surprise!

New Vegetable Garden

I am finally ready to plant my garden. -- Well, almost. As soon as I get some fencing around it to keep out the curious puppy. Hopefully by this week end, the seeds will be in the ground.

Now in Bloom!
