I forgot to mention that I haven't seen any rabbits or ground squirrels. More coyotes seem to be making their way into town but it's hard to say if that's the coyotes looking for food or as part of dog fighting illegality, or both. Probably both.

There's been a flock of lovebirds living wild in Phoenix ... escaped pets. You usually see them here and there. They've been thriving. Haven't seen a one this year.

No bats spotted on our morning walks.

Interestingly, although were in a super bloom the saguaro in my general area of town did not bloom abundantly.
