Our morning desert view.
Chricahua Mountains in the background.
This is an interesting place, Rusty’s RV Ranch. It’s a Dark Place. No security lights. Rules that ask us not to use any outdoor lights; keep windows covered at night so as not to let any direct light out. A considerate place for astronomers. In fact, look in our neighbor’s yard.
That’s some amateur telescope.
We did go off on an Arizona Woodpecker quest today. Saw a lot of birds. Got blue-throated hummingbird, acorn woodpecker, ladder-backed woodpecker, Mexican jay, bridled titmouse, white-breasted nuthatch, bewick’s wren, western bluebird, hermit thrush, cedar waxwing, painted redstart, green-tailed towhee, spotted towhee, lincoln’s sparrow, brewer’s sparrow, black-throated sparrow, dark-eyed junco, yellow-eyed junco. No Arizona Woodpecker. Contented ourselves with *many* acorn woodpeckers.
Guess we’ll just have to come back another time…
