Ruddy Ducks gather at Gilbert Water Ranch. This small group is only a small part of a much larger group. I have never seen so many together before.

I’m back as you can see…..

I have been gone awhile due to computer crashes. I have a new one now, but it’s Windows 11 and the one I’m writing on is a 10. I have two 11’s and I’m no expert but pretty good at this, and just can’t get this WordPress site to work on the 11s, in spite of following all the directions. So for now I’m sending photos from the 11 to this 10. At some future point I want make a new site, and it will be better and I’ll post that site here. You will notice I went back to the free WordPress so there will be ads.

Thanks to all of you for sticking with me!

Rock Wrens are so cute = kind of rolly-polly and this one was quite friendly

A Burrowing Owl braves the cold weather and keeps an eye on me.
