I admire your version of social distancing. I have been much more interested in the birds in our yard since being confined to the house so much, but couldn't name most of them. Their songs are so musical and varied. I have a renewed appreciation for nature these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/social-distancing-in-the-desert#post-2108271 Mon, 23 Mar 2020 23:39:59 +0000 rachylou 2108271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent pics </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/social-distancing-in-the-desert#post-2108266 Mon, 23 Mar 2020 22:59:59 +0000 JAileen 2108266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Becky, thank you. &nbsp;We saw tons of meadowlarks. &nbsp;They are such a treat. A couple years ago we drove to Minnesota and saw miles of grasslands - gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/social-distancing-in-the-desert#post-2108253 Mon, 23 Mar 2020 22:34:51 +0000 Becky 2108253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! We hiked yesterday in our nearby national grasslands. As expected, it was completely deserted. Everyone badly needed to get out of the house, and that was a good way to do it. The only bird of note was the ubiquitous western meadowlark, but I do love to hear them sing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/social-distancing-in-the-desert#post-2108235 Mon, 23 Mar 2020 21:18:39 +0000 JAileen 2108235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karen, thank you. &nbsp;It was at your XC center that a chickadee landed on my hand, years and years ago. &nbsp;What a magical moment! &nbsp;I remember it like it was yesterday. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/social-distancing-in-the-desert#post-2108232 Mon, 23 Mar 2020 21:11:50 +0000 karen13 2108232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these! DH and I Just walked our neighborhood (sadly our beloved XC center closed as a non essential business - xc was a great way to destress and social distance was working well) and the mountain chickadees were out in force. Those birds are resilient! It is 38 degrees and snaining, Turning to snow later. It’s headed your way. Stay safe and warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/social-distancing-in-the-desert#post-2108224 Mon, 23 Mar 2020 20:45:43 +0000 JAileen 2108224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suntiger, thank you. &nbsp;I love seeing birds doing interesting things. &nbsp;Crows are omnivores, so they could have been looking for bugs. &nbsp;Jays are in the same family. &nbsp;We watched a Steller’s jay burying acorns, and a scrub jay coming along and unburying them, right behind him. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/social-distancing-in-the-desert#post-2108221 Mon, 23 Mar 2020 20:38:30 +0000 Anonymous 2108221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the birds, and the doggies too of course! We had a lot of crows in the yard yesterday. They were tossing up leaves for some reason.
