I keep a Perpetual Journal; here are my entries from my yard 1, 2 & 3 years ago this week: Ironwood & Pencil Cholla in bloom & a Lucy’s Warbler in a nest box. In 2026 our Ironwood haven’t bloomed; we have very few Cholla flowers & no Lucy’s Warblers in our nest boxes.😞

Went out looking for a barn owl, ended up finding great horned owl fledglings instead! They still have baby fuzz on their face and the tiniest makings of "horns." There were 3 total; I'm not sure if mama was one of them or if was 3 young'uns but wow!

Saw something today I've never seen before! A Western screech owl tucked away in their little cactus home! So pleased I was able to get a couple decent photos of it.

#Trump Bulldozed a 1,000-Year-Old #ArcheologicalSite to Make Room for a Second Border Wall

#DHS was in talks with the #WildlifeRefuge that hosts the ancient site to make sure it was protected, a local archeologist said.

Adam Federman
April 30 2026, 7:01 p.m.

"A rare archaeological site in the #SonoranDesert was bulldozed by a Department of Homeland Security contractor involved in building the latest sections of Donald Trump’s #BorderWall, according to multiple sources briefed on the incident.

"The area, in a remote corner of Arizona’s #CabezaPrieta #NationalWildlifeRefuge, is a nearly 280-by-50-foot etching in the desert sand known as an #intaglio.

"Last Friday, without any notice, a contractor working for DHS cut a roughly 60-foot swath across the middle of the intaglio, doing irreparable damage to the 1,000-year-old artifact.

"Cabeza Prieta, one of the largest wilderness areas outside of Alaska, also encompasses lands sacred to the #TohonoOodham Nation, which borders the refuge to the east. The O’odham have fought to prevent border wall construction across their reservation and during Trump’s first term largely prevailed; they also managed to protect the intaglio and a nearby burial site that they consider to be part of their ancestral lands.

" 'I liken it to destroying the Nazca lines — something that culturally we should have been relishing and promoting. Not destroying,' Rick Martynec, an archaeologist, said in a phone interview, referring to the hundreds of figures drawn into the deserts of southern Peru.

"The destruction was confirmed by a federal employee with direct knowledge of the incident, who asked not to be named for fear of reprisal."

Tonight I'm filming the batty bats at the hummingbird feeder from above, camera extended on a pole above the tripod.

Well, that's the plan. I thought I'd be clever and set everything up before dark. This time I've got the light and camera hooked to external power banks, so no worries about the light in particular running out.

I set everything up, went inside to read Mastodon and...the damn light turned itself off. Dunno why, but going out to turn it back on scared them off.

They're back now, but only hitting the feeder without the camera/light set up. But, that feeder is almost empty and I put an extra-rich mix in the feeder being filmed, so I think they'll go back to it. Here's an iPhone clip through my dirty office window. There are at least 6 of them tonight, maybe more.

It's that time of year! 🌼 Some fun saguaro facts:
- Saguaros do not begin blooming until they are at least 30-35 years old
- Each flower is only open for 18-24 hours
- Saguaros appear to flower in a counter-clockwise direction, with buds first appearing on the east side, then the north, and then the west
