Vicki, I don't think I could resist buying one of those lambies. I'm a sucker for stuffed animals. Moni, the face of the man in the statue is so sad, and rightly so.

chemocurl, that puppy is adorable. He's a lucky dog to have found a home. Good luck to the pup!! Teddy is quite the furball. I was with him today and he is actually beginning to shed out. Just a little, but I'll take it!! Spring can't be too far away. Yaaaa.

Love those ponies, love those burros! Here's more from Death Valley, site of the borax processing plant from the 1880's when it was mined there. The borax had to be boiled to be processed. (Like you need something boiling in Death Valley! LOL!) Here's one of the wagons the 20 mules pulled to haul the borax out of Death Valley. Borax is no longer mined there.

kat-wa, I found your bird in the Audubon Society guide. It's a Varied Thrush. I've never seen one, but it's gorgeous. Easy to identify, too because of the "necklace", orange strips in the wings & the black stripe through its eyes. The voice is "remarkable: not melodic, but whistles 2 or 3 buzzy notes, each drawn out until it fades away."

The thrush & robin are in the same bird family. The AS guide says it comes down only to northern California, & since I'm in the Los Angeles area, I probably will never see one. Thanks for sharing a great photo.

wow! Thank you, Kathleen!
I have a really bad picture of another interesting bird.
hopefully he will be back and I can get a better shot.
I thought this bird looked a lot like a robin. Same size
thank you!
here he is just before taking off to the top of
the pear tree

I searched out the call and yes, I've heard it,
and wondered what it was!
thank you

Here is a link that might be useful: can hear the bird call here

Hi kat,

Wow, I didn't know of Cornell's All About Birds site - thanks! I'm bookmarking it. Your picture is better than Cornell's, though

The second picture you posted is also a Varied Thrush. See the black "necklace", stripe through the eyes & the orange stripes in the wings?

hahahaha...
yes, I know that one is a varied thrush.. lol I
type like I speak, all over the board! lol
there is another bird that I have no clue, but I
have just a bad shot of him, and hope he comes back soon so I can get another shot!

and I thought the thrush looked similar to a robin,
and the same size. I just read the post above yours and
wow, it does sound like I'm crazy! ahahahaha
