post Christmas

 A Sycamore tree in winter.
Not much happening at the Ranch.  Guest occupancy went from 98 % during the holidays to 24 % now.  Twice I heard the tale of Ring-tailed Cats walking into a kitchen storage area and not wanting to leave. I have not seen these little guys yet.
     The Cooper's Hawk sat in a tree in my yard, until I came out to photograph it.  I tell it,  Eat only Doves, stay away from the Quail.  So that is working.  I find Dove feathers in the front yard.

  1. Would be cool to see the Ringtail - another cousin of the Coati and Raccoon.
    We also have a yard accipiter who usually takes doves, but sometimes juncos too - which are by far our most numerous yard bird. Nice photo of the hawk!
