Too windy to do much outside today in L.B. so we like to check on the free entertainment off the south patio...

Hi how are ya today Dick?
Come a little closer and you'll find out Jane.
What's your problem ya old grouch? Back off a little! GeezeOmeano. How about we just dance the funky Dove?


Dance my little petunia...Had enough??.
That was fun, what are you doing tomorrow?
Aren't you glad I use dove?

Niiice as always. I just read an article on the decline of the Aztec dove in AZ. I've gone i search for them during the last year and haven't seen one where in the past they were always hanging out.

Hey Russ, how are ya? Aztec (Inca) doves are one of those species that mysteriously disappear and then re-appear again in a given area. Nobody knows where they go and this also makes their numbers hard to judge. Some folks say they used to be all over the place here in Baja Sur. I've never seen one here so I think they're mistaken for Common Ground Doves. Where in AZ are you?

There were a lot of the half pint dove along the dirt road in Palo Verde in the late '90's .
Not in AZ. the article was. Did make a huge purchase today to travel to outback. Got a new Ranger XP:rolleyes:
