It's been a lovely week in Portal.  Cool days and pleasant nights.  The monsoon appears to have ended and we cut all the 2 foot high grass in the yard.   What a chore!  The primary sound in the neighborhood this week was weed eaters and lawn mowers.    The seasonal home-owners return in September to mow their grass!
We're seeing lots of young Black-headed Grosbeaks, Cardinals, Nuthatches, Mexican Jays, Blue Throat Hummingbirds, Broad-billed Hummingbirds, Rufous & Mags, Acorn Woodpeckers, Butterflies and assorted insects, but, the birders have flown the coop and it's very quiet and peaceful.  

Our yard camera has captured the Striped Skunk on a regular basis.  There are three Coues White Tail Bucks that frequent the water feature and the Bear has been back on & off.  Nectar feeding Bats are back emptying the Hummingbird feeders at night.  They are fascinating to watch.

We are pleased with the tile job we had done in the house.  It really feels like home now.  The dogs are still a bit confused about where "home" is.  Matty seems to prefer Tucson.  Brown likes it here where he can chase squirrels.  Bud & I prefer it here, so Matty is outvoted.
