Stole this picture of the internet. A couple of days ago I spotted this bird in a marsh off Lake Matthews Dr. I came home and looked it up and found it to be a Black-necked Stilt. They grow to be about 14" high. As shown in the picture of above it walks the edges of marshy areas picking out all kinds of insects.
The closest stop sign is over a mile away and the first traffic light is 5+ miles down the road. A visit to the grocery store is almost 30 miles round trip. It's quiet here; just the sound of toads and coyotes at night. It seems very still, but when you look close there's always something happening. Read on about a few things we've noticed over the past few years.
