Maybe the third or fourth most common bird here... unlike the other commons, this one is entertaining and I think its reputation as an intelligent bird is well earned also. It's a great photo subject and will hop up into a tree for you for two or three Jordanian Dinars; very cooperative...
On Friday, there were eight or these sort of guarding this puddle, say 90 meters from a leaking irrigation pipeline and they seemed to be protective of the area holding two Bluethroats, two Robins, three Prinia and a pair of Chiffchaffs away... fun watching... could have been two or three Dead Sea Sparrows here also but I only saw enough of them to say they were sparrows... I was also hoping for some Linnets but they never showed up...
Madeira mornings: Every few days water came down from the mountain and flowed into the gardens adjacent to the channel here. Smaller channels then directed the water to particular areas in the gardens. Stones or wooden boards interrupted the flow if it wasn't needed somewhere.
Back irrigating again on the sand. We had four inches of rain last week and two days the boss told me not to come and two days I got sent home early. This week I'm working extra hours trying to keep irrigations going on the sand and trying to catch up mowing and baling hay. I probably won't get caught up on photo streams til things slow down or my eyes get better.
This beautiful Hawk* was found out in Idaho sitting on an irrigation wheel - calling out to its mate to warn it that I am near. The mate was on the ground about 500 feet away hunting as well. (* --I believe a Red Tail or Red Shoulder - need to see wings open to tell.)
At the end of the football (soccer) season the council laid a lot of new dirt on the playing fields in the park. Now the race is on to grow new grass before the children come back from holidays. I must confess that the dog has been moved back in time from another shot where the spray wasn't as good.
Have a good Sunday and thanks very much for visits, faves, comments and invites,

In these hot days irrigation is key. Shot near a cornfield near Vorden, shot on our way to a local farm for our supply of artisan jams & juices.

We've had some weird weather in California the last few days- an unusually early heat wave followed immediately by an unusually late cold snap. Taken near Tulelake, CA
A cotton field irrigation pump in Safford, Arizona. Behind the pump is a concrete trough that runs for miles along the side of the road. A combination of the natural slope of the ground and some help as needed from pumps along the way keeps the water moving. Mid picture is what is left in the field after a cotton picker has harvested the cotton. A cloudy, stormy sky is hanging low over the Pinalena Mountains in the background.

Into the high desert of west Idaho lies an irrigation reservoir for local ranches below. Also a good fishing reservoir managed by Idaho Fish and Game. Plan on a leisurely drive on an extremely rough road to get there.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK

The wheels seen in my previous photo are part of a graveyard of irrigation wheels discarded in Bennington, Idaho. A good strong wind can do a lot of damage to irrigation systems, and I imagine farm equipment damages them occasionally as well. This view also shows one of the farms that would irrigate these fields in the summer. The background is the Preuss Range of the Rocky Mountains, bordering the east side of Bear Lake Valley, Idaho
