This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

Butterflys Bar

These beauties were swarming this almost dry mud hole for what moisture they could get I suppose. Outside of Ruidoso New Mexico.

My apologies

Head in the Clouds

I've been posting mostly on the Squirrel Cam blog and have let this one kind of hang in the air. I'll try to post more often. To all my readers of this blog, I'm sorry

Red Winged Black Birds

Pretty Birds

I need more zoom. I had trouble getting close to these birds. I stood in a place with several birds around these bushes and this one electric pole. This one bird was harassing the other males and would fly down to buzz them. He would then fly back up to the top of the electric pole.

Humming Birds of Betabel

Scrub Jays

California Jays

They are very pretty birds, but this one would not allow me to be real close. I guess I'm going to have to get a better camera and a long distance lens if I'm to continue birding.

Always Looking for a Meal

These are such smart little brothers of the Raven. A friend of ours who use to live here in California had a pet crow. She said, it was the smartest bird she had ever been around.

Here in the High Desert

Beautiful Jays but it sure doesn't hang around long enough for a really good shot. I should try some suet cake and see if it will hang for a bit.

Price of Milk

Tease for my Alaskan Friends

I've posted pictures before on the price of groceries in Alaska as compared to outside. Well, this is a great example. Next time someone ask why groceries cost so much in Alaska, just remember. When they say it's the (freight) it just means that's the codeword for good old fashion American Greed

Welcome to Arizona

Look who showed up to wish me a warm welcome to Arizona

They must have had a common ancestor with the Common Red Polls of the far north. Except for the beak differences the coloration is very much the same.
