Play day

Since I found out I had an extra day, I decided to mostly play and rest today. Eager to go to Lajitas odeing tomorrow though. Haven't been there yet this year. Enjoyed watching this Western Wood-Pewee foraging.

Path toward back water feature

Path in arroyo through soapberry thicket

Blooming Chisos Rosewood (Vaquelinia angustifolia)

Cactus Wrens are busy feeding nestlings.

Before that one adult left the hole, the other adult showed up with more food.

Meanwhile, Mac was busy photographing the American Kestrels. Gonna fledge any hour now.

Three hungry babies. One larger and more dominant.

Lizard for breakfast.

Still hungry.

This mule deer seemed to find relief in the big tank when the temperature was over 100° this afternoon. She's obviously pregnant.
