Christmas in Tucson

tadoflamb · Dec 14, 2017

I did the Tucson Christmas Bird Count again this year. My area includes Winterhaven, the neighborhood next to mine. They go all out for Christmas. It's a bit of anomaly in Tucson with it's grass lawns and it's mixed urban forest but this morning, it also hosted a herd of these.

If it's got hair, we don't care!

Is that a peccary?

It is a 'don't call me pig' peccary.

:clap:

Very well played.

I thought that they were somewhat dangerous or is that just when you call them a pig.

I thought they were called warthogs. Bet they taste good!

Warthog

Peccaries are much cuter.

I'll say they're dangerous! They run through our neighborhood tipping over garbage cans and making a mess!

I've heard that you don't have to worry about them unless you encounter a herd at night and one gets separated from group and starts thrashing wildly about in the dark until it's reunited with the herd again.

This isn't the same animal that killed Ol' Yeller.

I think old yellar was the vicious one there

Didn't Old Yeller die of rabies?

But do they stink like skunks ?

A nice shot from my friend who did the count with us. This is a female Vermilion Flycatcher for all of you scoring along at home. Tucson holds the world record for this species on the CBC.

Your signature brings this to mind.

As the sparrow finds a home
and the swallow a nest to settle her young,
My home is by your altars,
LORD of hosts, my king and my God!
Psalms 84:4

Luke 9:58
Jesus replied, “- Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

No they stink like pigs.

And, I don't want no one showing Ol' Yeller no disrespect.
