The only exciting thing that happened today was the discovery of a new to us bird.....actually two new birds. No pictures of the Gilded Flicker that sat outside Beluga, but a couple of the bright, noisy and colorful Peach Faced Lovebirds zooming around from feeder to feeder.
It was quite cool and cloudy this morning and we thought we'd just stay in and take care of some domestic duties. After our morning routine I put chicken and mushrooms in the crockpot, talked with Robin on the phone and took doggies for a walk in the desert. Thats where we discovered 5 or 6 lovebirds squawking in the ocotillo. Later we broke camp, visited the dump station and set back up at our site, vacuumed and had dinner. I told you it was a boring couple alert day!
What beautiful birds! They look like they should be someone's pets in a cage inside. Too pretty to be flying around outside
ReplyDeleteWe saw a couple of those when we stayed at Usery and I wondered what they were! Since they aren't in my bird book I assume they must have originally come from domesticated pets that got loose years ago. So glad to see you got good pics of these cute birds!
