Seeing light in the tunnel

My son's rental property is almost ready to rent, and now my husband and I have one vacancy that we have to get ready, but I feel like progress is being made. Ours wasn't left in too bad a shape. Here are a few pics of Lee's in case you're curious. Otherwise, scroll past. I'm always irked at myself when I don't take "before" photos, but I did post one of this bathroom floor being replaced. He worked 12 hour days for nearly a week on this. It's his first rental property but hopefully not the last. He's motivated!

Today is Brian's last day here so I took off half a day to go butterflying with him. He showed me some nests of Orange Giant-Skippers. Pretty cool! This particular agave had 8 nests in it.

We didn't find any really interesting species. Seeing the Orange-barred Sulphurs in Alpine yesterday is a hard act to follow.

Pretty sure the Costa's Hummingbird has departed. Some birders spent two hours looking for it today without any luck. I was gone at the time, but my husband told me. Things here should start settling down. If it would just rain at CMO now, my world would be complete.
