Almost the End of 2013

We spent out for most of the afternoon enjoying the warmth, sitting out under the canopy. It was comfortable watching the hummingbirds squabble. There is one of them which chases off another one that tries to even drink from one from the feeders. There was also a very noisy Gila woodpecker who flicks around around the mesquite tree. We watched it go from there towards the large saquaro down a bit along the fence. I think there may have another one, but they both flew on down the road.

I think we saw a vulture across the valley, but didn't get a really good look at it. It just seems like there aren't many around as there were the last couple of years. Last year we saw them all the time. I read something about in the paper about them being further south, but it hasn't been any colder then before. Forry likes to watch them, but we haven't seen but one or two this year.

It was another quiet day. We watched RVs leave and we saw other RVs come it. We watched multiple dogs lead their owners around. We heard coyotes yapping outside the RV Park teasing the dogs inside  the RV Park. We watched the grackles fly in and land as a flock on the tree across the road. We saw couples walking around and around the park. We saw bicyclists riding around and around as well.
