These two parents are very good hunters, about every 45 minutes to an hour one or the other would bring in a squirrel. Another thing I noticed was the chicks were not aggressive when feeding. Other nest I have watched the chicks would fight over the food but these four did not. There is a definite runt in this brood and on one occasion the parent gave the squirrel to the smallest of the four and the rest did not take it away, they just watched as their little bro or sister dined on top shelf prime desert rat.
....I can smell the earthiness of the moist spring soil beneath their stems........
...this year's crocuses have started to bloom.....but we have winter like weather again....so all is on hold........
Tucson was settled by pioneers who spent weeks pushing through desert like this and finally had enough and said: "Here, this is fine, I'm sure there's plenty of water, so start unpacking, we're done..."

It's all about the light

This impressive nest of the stork is not only occupied by them but also inhabited by sparrows who built their nests in the lower part. I also noticed that besides the common sparrow also the Eurasian tree sparrow and the Spanish sparrow lived brotherly together.
I know, technically this is not a good picture. Did not bring my 400mm. However I find it interesting so I will upload a few from a series I took.
How many Sparrows do you see?
_MG_5264
Although I occasionally see Song Sparrows in my yard they seldom stay out in the open long enough for me to get photos, or if they do they are far away. This one has visited my yard several times recently and ended up very close and where I was set up for bird photography at my home in Yakima County, Washington.
Most of us are likely in the same boat so to speak, trying to social distance from each other and many of us are more or less required or at least strongly requested to stay at home due to Covid-19. For that reason I have been taking photos of birds in my yard and staying home in hopes of avoiding this virus. Most wide open public places away from town are closed to access, which to me doesn't make much sense. There apparently is little chance of getting Covid-19 at crowded grocery stores where people are binge buying but people who want to enjoy wide open spaces are more susceptible to contracting this virus here in Washington State, USA. Most state and federal public land is closed to access. Bottom line for me is that I will only have photos of yard birds for several weeks or who knows how long unless I decide to search my archives or cheat. We should probably stay home and save a life, it may be our own. God and Santa claus will be watching to see who is naughty and nice.
