Rusty's RV Ranch

 

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…
