Much of my prolonged interactions with animals is about establishing a comfort zone through repetition. This is a piece of a much longer song session with Roadie, who waits till the end of this clip to comment.

Sunday morning with Roadie, waiting for rain. I sing, bird listens. I know he doesn't understand the words, but I think he gets the good vibrations. #Roadrunner #birds #interspeciescommunication #singalong #serenade #monsoon

The Lesser-long nosed bats are in town, which means every morning the sugar-water feeders are slurped dry, so I fill them for the daytime crew of hummingbirds and Gila woodpeckers. That's 32 cups a week!

When you go shopping, the whiptail lizards know that it's always good to park in the shade.

Moments after hearing from his wife that Eric, the lovely man who has always supplied me with Roadie's mealworms, is dead, my dear Roadrunner showed up at the door. Sadness and joy. The memory of Eric is a blessing.
