Critters in my yard over the past couple days - Cottontail rabbits (many of them), Gila woodpeckers who think they are hummingbirds, and frequent mule deer.

We have a family of deer in our neighborhood.

I had two history classes with Dr. Bennett Wall, who told us that he flunked George Blanda twice when he taught at UK.

How you can tell when the pickings will be slim at an estate sale, this was on the first items pictured.

Here in the Sonoran desert, mostly the frequent and very healthy looking coyotes and bobcats.  Occasionally mountain lions as well, though they're around less since they tend to be solitary and cover a greater territory, and I haven't caught one on camera yet.

Also hawks and owls, which we also see regularly.  And rattlesnakes eat the younger rabbits as well.

Rabbits and Gambel's Quail are pretty much at the bottom of the food chain.

Circle of life, right?
