Nature show:

As I work.

Leaping lizards. Literally. All the same species, ranging in color from dark brown to a mottled pink, acrobatically jumping through air into the hyacinth hedge underneath the front bay window.

For color, they will go to a high point and show their blood red throat displays.

The only time they are less active is when the blackbirds are a hunting. They will dive into the thick hedges chasing the lizards, relentless in their feeding. Woe betide a reptile in the open, as Ive seen the blackbirds swoop in and snatch them off the walls, the grass.

But its mating season, so theyre out and about.. a leaping and a jumping.

The jays are also in mating season. Im getting a full XXX-Rated show as the female jays jump around vibrating to show their readiness, with the bright blue male jays swooping in to copulate on the fly.

Funny how the females meticulously groom themselves after every encounter.

The doves, woodpeckers, finches, parrots and cardinals only add to the buzzing in the air.

Spring (although you really cant tell the difference down here) is here.

Heh. The ghost gecko, in daytime pink and yellow, just came by my window for a visit.

She (as these geckos are all female) comes everytime the camera is nowhere near.

Better now than glimpsing her all transparent at night.

Yeesh.
