Our back yard is certified with the National Wildlife Federation as a wildlife habitat. Summertime is here once again. I'm having a challenging time keeping up with the watering and keeping the gophers and destructive insects at bay. All in all, everything in nature seems content and blends well together. Hummingbirds, Titmouse, Scrubjays, Finches, Quails, Nuthatches, Robins, Crows, Ravens, and Woodpeckers.
Playful squirrels round out the wonderment.
We feed them twice a day plus a snack of 2 unsalted crackers. Touchie' Tudor Turtle is a desert tortoise who just appeared over 15 years ago. He has the run of our fenced in front yard. If you happen to acquire one, be sure to register them with the Deparment of Fish and Game. Tudor came out of hibernation on St. Patrick's Day.
