We took a drive today to San Pedro to meet some friends. While we were there, a red tail hawk circled the area while he looked for lunch. I snapped this image of him as he passed overhead. Click on the image to enlarge.
Critters
Bertable Ride
Yesterday, I got to ride in the Mama’s bertible. I like the bertible because the top is down and I can sniff the air better. I can also see better and hear better.
We stopped at Daddy’s truck fixing place and the Daddy got out and walked away. I wanted to go with him but the Mama took be back home. Even though I wanted to get out with the Daddy, it was fun riding.
After a while the Daddy came home and I was glad to see him.

Cooper’s Hawk
We went out to the memorial park today to put out some Fathers Day decorations for Verna’s Dad. On our way into the place, we spotted a Cooper’s Hawk swooping low over the ground. Verna took this photo of it during a low pass. It appeared to have some prey on the ground somewhere although we couldn’t see anything there. Cooper’s Hawk sure is a handsome bird.
Another Picnic Today
Yipee! We got to have another picnic today. Lots of new news since this one was in a place called Quartzsite. My hoomins had salad with left over steak for lunch. I got to snack on the left over steak too. Click us to make us big.
Picnic in the Park
The Mama and Daddy took me to a park today for a picnic and barbecue. I like the park because it has lots of news – you know – scent left by other dogs that I like to sniff and ‘read the news.’ After I do that, the Hoomins make food on the fire and I get some of the meat after they eat. This is a picture of me just before I took a nap. Click to make me big.
Bird in a Yucca
We’re still not sure of this bird’s species, but we’re closing in on it with our guide to Arizona birds booklet. He has a yellow face and breast and is mottled browns on the back and wings. He is perched on a yucca bloom and was noted to pick on the blooms for either insects or the flower’s blossoms. Click on the image to see (slightly) enlarged.
