Sun City wildlife

Each day under Corona is the same. Get up, have coffee, take the pooch on a walk, have breakfast, go on second walk, have lunch and watch True Detectives, read on the patio, the Woman has a nap, cribbage, Monopoly Deal, Scrabble, Lester Holt on NBC Nightly News, then dinner and some more True Detectives, then bed. Day after day!


But the last few mornings we have had some bonus arrivals during our walks. We have seen a couple of Great Blue Herons soaring over the neighborhood. There really isn’t a nearby wetlands, so they must be moving among the water hazards on the golf courses. This morning we saw a flock of Canadian Geese flying in a perfect V formation, flying low over the rooftops. And we actually spotted a new species to us. We saw a Grey Hawk – not just once but several times – soaring, landing on walls and lamp posts – with its black and white striped tail, which it displays proudly during flight, it was quite special. He even landed on a rock across the street from our house, and waited while I went inside and grabbed the camera. Thanks dude!

We hope to be talking to you soon.
