Every Monday at 8AM (7 in the summer), there's a birdwatching tour of the garden. We saw gila and ladderback woodpeckers, verdin, curve-billed thrashers, gambel's quail, a hummingbird on her nest (!), brown-headed and bronzed cowbirds, and others I'm forgetting.

One of our Ohlone Audubon trip members spotted this surprising leftover from what we presume to be an owl meal. Owls are known to bite their prey in half to feed their young during breeding season, but this was in winter. We had seen many pellets with bones, but this was the only intact part of owl prey we saw. After looking through photos and reading a blog post by a naturalist about the mammals of Panoche Valley and Hills, I feel preety confident this is a kangaroo rat, but I'm not sure of the species. There are at least three in the area (Giant, San Joaquin, and Heermann's).
