First oasis Black-necked Stilt

I always figure the oasis has had about all the new species it's going to get, so it's fun when I get one I haven't had here before.

A few migrants show up every day, but no fallouts, or such. Fallouts aren't really desirable because they could indicate the birds are under stress, desperately seeking food, shelter, or water. Hopefully, having the oasis here for them will prevent them from being stressed when migrating. 

Here's a Prickly Pear cactus that will look awesome in a few days when it's all bloomed. It's so lush because it's tapped into the leach-field at the edge of my septic tank.
