I agree; we want a video link! We had two young ones come up to the yard a day ago and my watch dog scared them off. If you know Golden's the only thing they watch is to see who fed them last.

OK I'll get a picture if I can. He usually comes at night so not sure about a picture.

That is really unusual; one smart deer who knows a safe yard.

I have the usual birds at my house in Trabuco Canyon,California but not at my 5th wheel at Kennedy Meadows, CA. I've been there twice in the last 3 weeks and in June I had a new nuthatch (?) pair busy all day bringing caterpillars (?) to the nest inside the hook up under the trailer.

Two weeks later, June 30th to July 3rd, there was a brand new swallow nest with at least 7 cliff swallows working to put mud up under the ramada eves. If I get back there before I leave for S2KCA Days in Durango, I'm thinking they'll have condos built.

Desert birds - interesting. I'll stick with green grass and green trees.

Believe it or not, that is what our summer has been like. It has only rained a couple times in the whole month of June.

Is that unusual for you?
