On the First Day of Christmas, My True Love Sent To Me
A Vulture in a Palm Tree
Or was that Two Vultures in a Palm Tree
Yikes, it was a Many Vultures in a Palm Tree
And they are real cute.

Maybe they forgot to look at their calendar.
First time I have seen them in a palm tree.

Diana,
This isn't the first time they are stalking you. Aren't you getting a little paranoid?
Nice photos!

,,, Hello. . . Wondering if anyone could tell us about how close to normal are things in Mulege? Are most of the motels, grocery stores & eataries
back up for business? I know that the Serinidad is back & airstrip is fine but what about Javier's hotel / restaurant? Is the Hacienda open &
does anyone have a phone # for them (how is Alfonso doing?) Thanks in advance. . .

Bird symbolism and attributes of the vulture:
* Loyal
* Serious
* Patience
* Tolerance
* Renewal
* Equalizing
* Cleanliness
* Perceptive
* Protection
* Impervious
* Unconventional
* Resourcefulness
Bird symbolism deals with the element of air, and air is symbolic of the mind, thoughts, and intelligence. That the vulture is a master navigator of
the winds reminds us we might need to "go back to the mental drawing board" before acting in projects.
The vulture also asks us to be patient with ourselves, and think things through. They encourage us to be quite sure of how we feel before we enter the
arena of our plans.
This symbolism is underscored by the magnificent level of patience the vulture exhibits. I've seen vultures coast air currents for hours, waiting for
the perfect time to descend upon a tasty treat.
And speaking of that...we all know vultures are scavengers. This holds keen symbolism for us, in that the vulture represents resourcefulness.
We can take its cue by being the same way: Resourceful and wise with the resources we have at hand. Rather than working hard, we can open our senses
to the opportunities already available to us. The vulture does not hunt, it seizes the resources available to it.

They like me, they like me, they really like me!
My apologies to Sally Fields.
But just in case, I brought along my watch dog. 
HaciendaCerritos---love that description. I enjoy these birds and can also watch them for hours just waiting for the right moment to swoop down.
They are quite amazing and do have all of those attributes. And I sincerely think they are beautiful
