Curve-billed Thrasher samples Saguaro blossoms

The Saguaro blossoms are starting to open 🪶🌵 (image from 2025)

Good morning, boys! That photo is a lovely memory of your days with Indy. How is Indy doing in her new home these days? ♥️🐈‍⬛

125+ year old Saguaro in Tucson, Arizona

A huge, empty nesting site in the ancient Saguaro

Unoccupied nest 😢 This site was used by a Great Horned Owl last Spring.

Hello, friends! Look what Mom found outside our next door neighbor's door! I think they belong to the geckos who live around our doors and come out at night to hunt bugs. Will these eggs survive out in the open and unattended like this? Our days are warm, but nights are still cool. #Hedgewatch

Excellent work, Ziggy! Catch as many as you can and bring them inside! Your mom will LOVE that! 😹😹😹😹

Hello, HQ! I must say, it's quite a cozy bed and certainly an improvement over my old bed -- which previously belonged to a DOG!!! 🙀 And thank you for the lovely snack! 😽♥️🐈‍⬛

Yeah ... Especially the headless one she found on her bed. No idea how that happened ... 😹😹😹

It is, pal! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We've had a plague of grasshoppers around here lately, boys. I've been bringing as many as I can inside. I'm just saving them from this horrible heatwave, you understand ... 😹😹😹😹

Seems fair to me, dear Izzy! ♥️🐈‍⬛

It is, Oreo! I think I'll keep it. ♥️🐈‍⬛

Thanks! It's actually quite cozy.

Lookin' good, boys! ♥️🐈‍⬛

Good morning, friends! All this "redecorating" and FINALLY something for ME -- I got a new bed. Taking it for a test nap. #Hedgewatch ♥️🐈‍⬛

You are a PRO at relaxing, Ziggy! 😹♥️🐈‍⬛

Teacher's pet, no doubt! 😹

You were born for #Hedgewatch, kid. We will have to see about getting you in. ♥️🐈‍⬛

Happy Sunday, friends! I'd like to introduce you to my pal, Ziggy @magpie63.bsky.social . Ziggy is my downstairs neighbor and Mom says he's a VERY GOOD BOY. As for me, I have glared down at Ziggy from above and also judged him a VERY GOOD BOY - for a DOG! 😹
#Hedgewatch

Stick with me, kid - my popularity is sure to rub off on you! 😹😹😹

@magpie63.bsky.social Ziggy, my pal! So glad you found me! ♥️🐈‍⬛

Please and thank you, HQ! Truth be told, I've already left a few "surprises" Mom has yet to find. That ugly rug camouflages cat vomit like no other! 😹😹😹😹😹

Don't think I haven't considered it! I'll show her "boho," but it'll be more like boohoo, Mom! Here's what I think of your ugly rug!!! 😹

So sweet, Jules! 😻

Beyond shameful what we have become. 😿

All those things and NOT FAT!? Thanks very much, friend. Good to know that my awesomeness overpowers the ugliness of my mom's decorating choices. 😹

Thanks very much, HQ! It goes without saying that I wasn't consulted on the purchase of the rug ... And it's a bit too boho for my sophisticated taste.😾

Thank you, sweet ladies! 😽♥️🐈‍⬛

Thank you, dear Izzy! ♥️🐈‍⬛

Hello, boys! Great to see you, too. Hope all is well in your world. ♥️🐈‍⬛

Thank you, my friend! ♥️🐈‍⬛
