Every spring I look forward to the cedar wax-wings making an appearance. They're usually here for a short time but when they do come, there are a lot of them. Maralee

The Owl and the Steller’s Jay – Day 58 – A Year of Wildlife
This poor owl was trying to sleep but the Steller's Jay kept harassing it. This is another photo from a few years ago. Maralee
Snake – Day 57 – A Year of Wildlife
I have never been bothered too much by snakes - unless they're poisonous. This one was being held by someone so it was easy to get up close. Maralee

Photos of a couple of deer who passed through my yard. Maralee
California Quail – Day 55 – A Year of Wildlife
This is a male California Quail - a short-legged, plump bird with a comma-shaped crest. In the spring, the females will lay about 13-14 eggs and they are so much fun to watch when they are scurrying about.
