Another Animal Adventure (Monday, April 13th, 2020)

Today on our walk, we found an owl burrow, complete with a pair of owls.  One outside, and one inside peeking out at us.  It was so exciting!  We don't know if they have a nest or not, but we'll have to keep our eye out.  We've been doing enough nature walks that I decided I needed by good camera from the storage unit.  I took this picture from across the wash, about 75 feet away.  So nice to shoot with a real camera verses an iphone!

As we walked by, they both left the burrow and kept an eye on us, one from each side.

Then we stumbled upon this beautiful quail.

A lizard warming up in the sunshine.

A humming bird.  Maybe the same one we saw the other day.

And last but not least, a couple of ground squirrels.  So cute!

It's amazing how seeing all of these animals can lift my spirits, and remind me that everything is going to be OK when this is all over.  We moved out of our house and into our motor home, and started our Covid-19 quarantine a month ago yesterday.  Sometimes it feels like the days are all just blurring together.  But it's also amazing to think that a month has already gone by.  We don't know when the quarantine will end, or what things will be like when it does, but I am grateful to be able to get out and enjoy nature to help the time pass by.
