How Do You Say Good-Bye in Bird? (Huachuca City, AZ)

Yesterday, we spent a good part of the day packing or trying to remember where everything went.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I bought more stuff!  It's like trying to fit size 13 feet into size 10 shoes!  That's what happens when I don't keep things where they belong.  Sigh!  Lesson learned.  I must stick to my #1 rule:  if I don't have room for it then I must not need it.  Anyhow, I managed to get everything packed away.  It just took a little longer and a lot of juggling of stuff.

We spent some time talking to our friends/co-workers one last time and we took our last walk around the Preserve.  I will miss all our new friends along with all our new bird friends that we came to know so well, but we will be back.

The Vermilion was cooperative by landing on a lower limb so I could get a better photo.
Even the Rufous-backed Robin came out to peek at us.  I haven't seen him in a couple of weeks.
You are not gone yet?
Today, we said good-bye to Patagonia.  As you can see, a very unique town.
I'm not going to miss the Gila Woodpeckers hogging all of the hummingbird's food.  I was a little worried they would break the feeder.  They are too big for the feeder.

We did not go far to our next destination.  We are about a half-hour down the road at Quail's Ridge RV Park in Huachuca City.  We have driven by this campground on our way to Sierra Vista and it is nice.

The cats are not happy because it is back to harnesses and leashes again.  Can cats mope?  Because I swear that's what three of them were doing after they came in from their walk.  We are only staying here for a few days so we can visit some areas nearby then it is on to Benson for a week.

On the Cutting Board
Before packing up my sewing machine, I sewed together three mug rugs.  Now I have lots of hand sewing to do!
Happy Quilting!

Quite a Ruckus (Patagonia, AZ)

Recently, the Preserve has become a lot busier.  Last Saturday, I had what I would call a "human stampede".  I had no idea what was going on.  People were in such a hurry, they were either tossing money at me or leaving it on the desk and running down the path.  Talk about being left in the dust!  LOL!  I found out later someone had posted online about sighting the Rufous-backed Robin. 

Yesterday, it was a group of birders - unannounced and today has been almost as busy.  Most of the birders are going away happy with another check on their "life list".  A very accommodating bird!

Yea?  I think I'm prettier than that guy

All the Robins love these berries

I'm keeping this short because I have people to greet......photos to edit.....birds to chase.....
