yesterday we had a spotted towhee scratching around and a wilson's warbler in our backyard sanctuary. i then traveled to the ranson canyon bird sanctuary and discovered three painted buntings (two males chasing each other and one female ignoring them), 1 house wren, 2 yellow-rumped warblers (audubon's), 2 turkey vultures, cardinals of course, 2 great horned owls (1 adult and 1 juvenile) and 2 b-n stilts next to the road crossing to the west side. danny life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming-WOW-WHAT A RIDE!
