We went for a walk the other day and saw a curved bill thrasher sitting in a cholla cactus. I think this might be the one that visits our yard and scoops up ants.Closer inspection revealed a nest with two babies. I don't see how the adults can navigate onto the nest without impaling themselves on the cholla spines.

Here's a young white-winged dove we found in the yard. Don't know if he fell out of the nest or was pushed out because (s)he's sickly. He can barely walk-shuffle along, so we kept him in a box over night and put him out under the bird feeder this morning in hopes an adult might try to feed him. We'll keep you posted.
