One of the little details I appreciate living in AZ. I get a daily morning visit by a covey of Gambel's Quail:

My daughter has those as well. She lives right off a wash near Queen Creek. Fun watching the little ones.

LOL We get them as well usually in the Spring & Fall when "weekenders" put their trash out days before pickup.

Yup, and restaurants in town failing to lock their garbage away and even the occasional nutter who actively feeds them. We had a grizzly eating a neighbour's tulips last year which focused everyone's attention. Fortunately she decided to head back up the mountain with her cubs after a hearty vegetarian feast rather than moving on to the meat course.

We get much more colorful fauna in my neck -of-the-woods . . . They’re protected by law

Of course it’s Walmart.

We get daily visits from the bushy-tailed yard pigeons...aka squirrels. They are a cute nuisance until they gnaw through the rafter vents/screens and start hanging out in your house.

They are prolific little things. Maybe as bad as rabbits. I never minded them until they became destructive to the house and vehicles. Then I started trapping them and began to teach them how to swim in a 5 gallon bucket. I’m not a very successful swimming instructor! Unfortunately, they are better reproducers than I am a poor swimming instructor.

Holy crap!

Don’t think I’ll trap that and teach it to swim!
