Basalt

Rufous hummingbirds. We got Rufous hummers. They finally arrived a few days ago. Black chinned, broad tailed, and Rufous. And a pack of pinon jays blowing through the camp. Black capped chickadees and mountain chickadees together. Magpies. Lewis’s woodpeckers. Cedar Waxwings. I finally got another flycatcher besides the western wood pewee. Dusky flycatcher. All the swallows, catbirds, black headed grosbeaks, bullocks orioles, goldfinches, American dipper, western tanager, pine siskin, spotted sandpipers, yellow warblers, plumbeous vireo, warbling vireo, white breasted nuthatch. It’s birdy here.

Taylor turned fourteen. She has her own cellphone and an ipod. She has arrived.
