Bullock's Oriole nest...built from twine, horse hair, grass, or any other fibrous material they can find.
Lizard sunning itself. Spring is here!
Woodpecker hole...we have Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers, and Northern Flickers.
The little gnats flying around that are making me CRAZY right now hatch out of these things. They are called "pinecone galls." The midge (gnat) lays an egg on the willow and when the egg hatches, it secrets a chemical that causes the willow to grow a "gall." The larvae spends the winter in these galls and emerges in the spring as a gnat. Head nets will save your sanity out here!!
Red-winged Blackbird.
