skidaddle.  These little guys are quite brazen.  Another time, Jerri heard rustling in my backpack and it was one of these squirrels trying to find food.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/squirrel.jpegSquirrel This varmint visited us and wondered if we had any Grey Poupon or crackers. He was quite close to our chairs.  (I think this is a golden mantle squirrel)https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/c-help.jpegC-helpI swear the fish was this big!https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/jposing.jpegjposing Don’t take my picture! Check out the rugged mountain in the background.  Smoke from forest fires to the south of us was creeping in here.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/j-paddling.jpegJ paddling The water in our little cove is fairly warm and enjoyable on a very hot day like it was here.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/our-cove.jpegOur coveThe water in our little cove is fairly warm and enjoyable on a very hot day like it was in this photo.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/our-lagoon2.jpegOur lagoon2 “Our” lagoon.  You can see why we love this place.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/morning.jpgMorningThe Potholes trailhead is just across the highway (more or less) from Silver Lake and that is where we kayaked twice last week.  We love this place!  This is Silver Lake about 9 am.  It’s so much fun to get out there with no wind (as we have experienced at Caples Lake many times).https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/old-tree2.jpegOld tree2“To infinity and beyond!”  This is just to the right and above where the potholes are.  Another long drop into the abyss just beyond those trees on the rock.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/potholes4.jpegPotholes4This is a fun place to take a dip. But one must be careful because just past that big rock in the background is a long waterfall and a huge drop to even bigger rocks. No bueno to slip over the edge. We were able to to enjoy all this in solitude for about 20 minutes before people began to join us. Good thing we like to get out early. A pothole is a circular or cylindrical hole in the riverbed which is produced by force of water and abrasion. A pothole is formed when a circular current of water carrying small pebbles and sediment begins to wear away a rock surface.

the sun in a relatively short time, we packed up and left.  One does not mess around with lightning in the mountains.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/rabbit-2.jpegRabbit 2We knew the weather forecast called for winds and possible thunderstorms and were on the watch for thunderheads building around the mountain peaks.  This is the only rabbit we saw that day.

was warmer.  We were comfortable to wade and even play with the Boogie boards.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/f_apa_2016_osprey_robert_kimbrell_kk.jpgf_apa_2016_osprey_robert_kimbrell_kkThere was a wind blowing when we arrived but it was not as cold as the winds generally are at Lake Tahoe.  We were still cautious with the kayaks and didn’t go out in the middle of the lake, but we were able to paddle about a mile without turning around and that was on just one side of the lake.  We were excited to spot what we originally thought was a bald eagle, but it turned out to be an osprey in a dead tree.  It’s not as big as a bald eagle, but it’s still a large bird.  We even got to see it fly and try for a fish, their primary food.  Photo Audubon field guidehttps://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/lupine-2.jpegLupine 2  We are even

years.  Recently, Jerri decided we should branch out as Round Hill is getting too crowded and we know just about every rock on our kayaking routes. 2020-07-27T19:26:19+00:00monthlyhttps://buzzardnotes.blog/2020/07/10/what-ive-been-doing-for-the-past-10-or-so-days/https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/done-tree.jpegDone treeAfter placing the weed guard material around the trees, I moved some large rocks from another area of the yard to form a circle around the tree.  Then red “bark” was put around the trees.  Jerri helped me do some of this.  Still, it’s a long tedious job.  This is a “finished” tree.  Piles of smallish rocks are still to be moved.  I broke my wheelbarrow just as I dumped my last load this morning.  RATS!  I need to go out and repair it before Jerri comes over to help me move more rocks tomorrow.  No rest for the wicked as my mom used to say.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/rock-pile1.jpgrock pile1Along the way, I decided to not return the small rocks around the trees as I thought it would look neater.  So, I moved quite a few via wheelbarrow to another section of the yard.  This is just the beginning.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/scorpion.jpgScorpionThis little 3” long creature charged at me while I was trying to move his rock home.  Luckily, I saw him moving out of the corner of my eye and didn’t get stung.  Touch up (so that he was clearer) courtesy of the Matt Rivers Touch-up & Redo Service.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/tree-to-do.jpgtree to doIt seemed like it took forever to move the rocks and prepare the soil for the weed guard material.  It also involved replacing some of the drip system because some of it was at least 20 years old.  It was such a dirty, sweaty job that I usually took off my clothes in the laundry room and then went for a shower.  Yes, I was drinking a lot of Gatorade to stay hydrated.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/tree2.jpgtree#2I moved these rocks front the front yard and placed them around the trees when I first moved to Minden in 2013.  Obviously, I didn’t do a very good job taking care of the grass.  This is a before shot.   The area beyond the fence is open space that was originally supposed to be a gold course.  Now it’s full of sagebrush and other plants that provide shelter and some food for many critters and birds.  Just this side of the fence is the iris that I planted last fall.  I hope, eventually, they will provide a green/colorful vista along the fence.2020-09-10T23:01:47+00:00monthlyhttps://buzzardnotes.blog/2020/05/19/a-floral-horsey-adventure-may-whatever-2020/https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/img_7314redo.jpgIMG_7314redoYou

street lights, she organized the Candy Dance (a dance and midnight super featuring her candy) to raise money for the town.  This is still an annual event a century later.  AND the town of Genoa still uses that money to help run the town’s affairs.  Her signature candy was fudge, but here she might be serving divinity or white chocolate fudge. http://www.genoanevada.org/candydancefaire.htm

only one I found were resting in someone’s yard.  I found it amusing that they were very calm while on the other side of the person’s house, the owner was using a snow blower to clear his driveway.  Clearly, the deer didn’t care.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/flying-eagle2.jpegEagle in Flight If you look in the center of the picture, he’s still in flight against the snowy

We dreamed about swimming almost every day with the honu and its fellow creatures of the deep. Perhaps we dreamed too much and were a bit disappointed in the weather and the relatively poor snorkeling. Another factor was the seemingly large increase in people and traffic since just a year ago. We did get to see new sights and experience new things, so the trip was fun and the food was great! We’ve decided, though, that we’ll not repeat an adventure again as that might bring bad ju ju. We are very thankful, however, that we are able to travel and enjoy each other’s company.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/last-day.jpglast dayThe surf was up during our last day, so it was probably a good thing the trip was at an end.

This little guy somehow got on the hood of a car in Lahaina. The ladies inside the car were somewhat indignant that I was taking pictures of their car.2018-10-19T10:38:46+00:00monthlyhttps://buzzardnotes.blog/2018/09/15/september-14-2018-a-day-filled-with-visual-treats/https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/img_1072.jpgIMG_1072Then Sid jumped to the actual feeder to begin stuffing himself. His cheeks looked like he had a terrible case of mumps. I told Sid in explicit terms that he knows he’s not supposed to be there and with that, he jumped back to the pole, slid down it like a fireman and ran off to the sagebrush in back of my fence. https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/img_1071.jpgIMG_1071I watched him look up to see the actual bird feeder and then shinny up the pole like he is a cross-fit advocate. Here he is stretched from the pole to the feeder. Sid is quite an acrobat!https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/img_1068.jpgIMG_1068Usually these clouds remind me of humongous UFOs or the USS Enterprise from Star Trek, but these were a bit different.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/img_1069.jpgIMG_1069So here is Sid below the actual feeder feasting on a peach that had fallen from my peach tree (way too wormy for me to eat).https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/img_1063.jpgIMG_1063Later that day the wind was blowing at a good clip when I went to get my mail and these are the scenes I saw of some big lenticular clouds. https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/img_1061.jpgIMG_1061I especially like this one taken a few minutes later because it reminds me of pictures I’ve seen of lava streams going downhill on the Big Island of Hawaii.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/img_1059.jpgIMG_1059This is what I saw as I was putting out seed and fresh water for my birds and the other critters that wander into my yard.2019-05-22T14:35:39+00:00monthlyhttps://buzzardnotes.blog/2018/06/20/adventure-around-the-corner-never-a-dull-moment/https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/ball10.jpgBall10The neighbors and I went home after the bunsin part and Zoe was left to have her crew help her with the gondola.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/ball9.jpgBall9This is bunsin. We all turned around and sat down on the big bag to help take the air out of the bag to make it more manageable.

Paul was explaining all this to us when another boat tour walked through our group on their way to the end of the slot canyon we were in. Paul told us, “You are now at a revival.” He began quoting many scriptures and we were hollering “Amen, Brother” while the people walked through in a timid way As soon as the folks passed by, Paul immediately went back to his talk and never missed a beat. He is an amazing man who is world renown in geologic circles and can quote Shakespeare at length as well as the Bible and other literary masterpieces at will.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/unconformityspan.jpgunconformityspanThen we got to the Great Unconformity. This non-layer indicates an age in which no sediments can be found. It is indicative of a time when an advancing sea eroded away the sediments that should be here.

This is why we don't plant anytime before Mother's Day even though the stores are already tempting us with beautiful plants.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/aprilsnow.jpgAprilsnowSee what I mean about weather quickly changing? This bit of snow arrived during the night after the wind died down. Everybody I've talked to today was taken by surprise to wake up to snow.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/images-2.jpgimages-2A pair mallard ducks has arrived also. They were here last year, too. i don't know if they are resting while on migration or they just decided to come here for a couple weeks before they move to a breeding ground. I heard a canyon wren yesterday and is exciting to me. I've never seen one, but I know the call. Soon I'll see tiny puff balls scurrying with their quail parents. Spring is truly a delightful time that brings all kinds of diversions and activities.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/images.jpgimagesRed-winged blackbirds have also arrived. They and their yellow-headed cousins love to thrash the bird seed all over the place and soon empty the feeders every morning now.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/67376561-720px.jpg67376561-720pxSpring also brings some different birds. One yellow-headed blackbird arrived last week. Maybe he was a scout. This morning there were at least 25 of them flocking to the feeding area this morning.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/pink-tree.jpgpink treePretty pink blossoms on a tree. https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/tree-closeup.jpgtree closeupPeach blossoms. Our winds have been up to 50 mph the past two days. I hope the blossoms don't blow off the fruit trees.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/fruit-tree.jpgfruit treeIf memory serves me right, this is a peach tree just beginning to bloom.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/rhizome.jpgrhizome?These rhizomes from which the iris grow are probably at least 100 years old. They continue to provide radiant accent to the farm. Diana has taught me to use a variety of plants that will bloom in stages throughout the spring and summer, thus giving resplendent color throughout the summer.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/iris-patch.jpgiris patchThe beginning of this year's beautiful iris in front of the old blacksmith shop and next to the berry field.2018-04-16T22:33:02+00:00monthlyhttps://buzzardnotes.blog/2018/03/22/ravin-lunch-march-2018/https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/later.jpglaterTen minutes later.

This was taken about 6:15 AM looking west to the Sierras. I love how the sun light ups the mountains from the top down.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/whatisthis.jpgwhatisthisWait! What is this? Actually, ravens don't normally hang on as woodpeckers do. But if they are hungry enough and like the food, they will try anything. Then, too, their beaks are thick and it's difficult for them to get through the smaller mesh in the suet feeder. They keep trying and eventually do get a few bites. Starlings do better at this same trick because their beaks are smaller.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/go.jpggoAttacking the suethttps://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/set.jpgsetGo!https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ready.jpgreadyReady...

Ravens and tri-colored blackbirds are the primary birds here. The quail slept in, but they don't enjoy being with the ravens very much.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/pine-tree.jpgPine treeI love how the snow fall in clumps on the trees. Of course I wouldn't like it if these same trees were breaking power lines.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/snowy-2.jpgsnowy 2Some nice snow looking very pristine 2018-03-26T23:05:05+00:00monthlyhttps://buzzardnotes.blog/2018/03/01/the-boys-buddy-and-max-bia-the-girl-cousin/https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/eeyore.jpgEeyoreThis isn't one of Buddy's best Eeyore looks, but sometimes he sits and sort of stares with a woebegone look.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/biamax.jpgBia&MaxA wistful plea…Won’t you play with me, Max?https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/biabuddyplay1.jpgBia&Buddyplayhttps://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/play-with-me.jpgPlay with meA wistful plea...Won't you play with me, Max?https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/is-thatyoumax.jpgIs thatyouMax?Is that you, Max?https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/biabuddyplay.jpgBia&BuddyplayThis isn’t a great picture but Bia wants so much to play with Buddy and Max, but they don’t seem to want to. I think she moves way to fast for Buddy and he’s not able to run and jump with her anyway. Max, as big as he is, (100+ pounds vs. 50 pounds) seems to be a bit intimidated by her.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/bia.jpgBiaOne of Bia’s favorite positions to rest or contemplate what she’s going to do next.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/bia-jo.jpgBia& JoThen there is Bia (aka Beezie), Buddy and Max’s little girl cousin. Bia is also a rescue that is three-quarters lab and one-quarter pit bull. She has a lab personality and loves her family and people to no end. She is just a year old and is still learning the ropes. Bia’s energy is boundless and wants to play with every dog or critter she finds. Her tail is like a whip with no nerves. It whacks anything nearby (your leg, a wall, a tree, ad infinitum) and seems to feel no effect. But your leg does! She is so happy to see you and practically wags her fanny off trying to greet you.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/max-scratch.jpgMax scratchWhen Max needs to take care of an itch, everyone knows it. His tags rattle and a big foot goes after that itch with a great production. You should see when he cleans his feet. He puts the entire foot in his mouth and kind of crunches on it like he’s gnawing on his toenails. It's a weird sound.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/bud-cave.jpgBud caveSometimes Buddy gets into a small place where Max can’t bug him. He loves to sleep under the desk in the computer room at home. Note: this is in front of where Buddy and Max were napping in the previous picture.2018-03-01T16:52:38+00:00monthlyhttps://buzzardnotes.blog/2018/02/26/death-valley-adventure-february-2018/https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/zab-pt-sunset.jpgZAB pt sunsetThe sunset didn’t have extraordinary colors but the reflections were fun.

Dalan went out to points unknown to take pictures.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/zpt-raven.jpgzpt-ravenThe next late afternoon, we went to Zabriskie Point to see colors and maybe a sunset. The reflected colors are beautiful and I enjoy going there to see all the people as well as the sights. There is a large raven in this photo. See if you can spot it.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/sunset-reflect.jpgsunset reflectThe sunset wasn’t very spectacular but the setting sun’s reflection creates some pretty colors as people come back across the dunes to get to their cars.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/bug.jpgbugIt was pretty easy to follow the tracks and discovered this large stinkbug hustling across the sand to another plant so as to have some shelter.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/bug-tracks.jpgbug tracksI espied these tracks and then wondered what made them.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/jjdunes.jpgJ&JdunesJerri and Jolee2018-03-01T11:17:23+00:00monthlyhttps://buzzardnotes.blog/2018/01/19/ag-birds-and-critters-in-carson-valley-january-2018/https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/img_5519-2.jpgSierras1/19/2018We had pretty good winds yesterday, topping 50 mph and 70 near Lake Tahoe. The mountains got some snow and we got a spritz. It was snowing a tad when I went to the gym this morning, but nothing stuck. This was the scene looking west this morning. The mountains look so close but the foothills are actually 6 or more miles away. I never tire of this view.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/coop.jpgcoopSeveral varieties of hawks fly over my feeding area for smaller birds. Sometimes they are successful. I don’t like to see it happen, but realize that these critters are doing what comes naturally.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/coopers.jpgCooper'sAs you can see, life goes on in the Carson Valley with a lot of birthin’ and, sometimes the opposite. I came home a couple of days ago and looked out in back to see this Cooper’s hawk with a kill. I took a bunch of pictures and then did some other tasks. When I looked out about half an hour later, there was nothing left on the ground except feathers. I don’t know if he ate it all or flew away with part of it.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/mama.jpgMamaThree days later I stopped by the Settlemeyer Ranch again to see what was happening. More babies had been born. The cow lying down with the babies had given birth maybe the day before, as her baby was quite small.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/waitin-for-godot.jpgwaitin' for GodotOn the way out of the Dangberg Home Ranch, I was met by these two ladies that might have been waiting for a ride, for Godot or who knows? These cattle are Park Ranch cows and have not calved yet. They will in another week or so.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/prairiefalcon.jpgprairiefalconWhile at the Dangberg, I met another local photo guru who told me this is a prairie falcon. I love meeting these guys, as they aren’t shy about sharing their knowledge of birds and photography. https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/img_0579.jpgnorthern harrierHarriers generally do not soar (except in migration and courtship) but fly close to the ground looking for prey.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/n-harrier.jpgN. harrier?Obviously, there were no eagles in Genoa, so I headed over to the Dangberg Ranch where I had seen one perched last year. No eagles did I see this year, but i did see what I think is a female Northern harrier, another raptor.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/snow-deer.jpgSnow deerDid you notice how dry it is? No snow in the valley so far this winter and it’s a bummer. Not quite a year ago I took this picture just a yards from where I took this year’s pictures.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/crossinthebar.jpgcrossin'thebarGenoa deer have it down pat.

It was early on a weekday and we still had to fight for a parking space. https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/bullet-holes.jpgbullet holesThese Hangar 79 windows still have bullet holes from the December 7, 1941 attack. The Navy continued to use the hangar as a repair facility but never repaired the holes to remind the sailors they were working in a combat zone.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/aerial-view.jpgaerial viewOur tour bus took us from the Missouri to the Pacific Aviation Museum. It is housed in pre-WWII aircraft hangars and displays aircraft from WWII on. The lobby floor is very unique in that it is an aerial photo of Pearl Harbor as it is today. It is tiled but you can hardly see the seams. This portion is looking down on the USS Missouri, the Arizona Memorial and the two white spots above the Arizona mark where the USS Nevada was moored.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/end-of-war.jpgend of warPerhaps the most famous photo of the end of WWII.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/flags-on-mo.jpgflags on MOWe were able to tour a good part of the Missouri above and below deck. It was like a confusing city below deck where the men slept, ate, went to the dentist, saw the doctor, wrote letters and lived their lives. We were glad to get back to the main deck away from (again) those tight quarters.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/img_0337.jpgIMG_0337The exact spot on the USS Missouri deck where the instrument of formal surrender of Japan was signed to bring a close to WWII.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/guns.jpgGunsWe are on board the USS Missouri.

I think this is a unique and poignant memorial for the 429 men lost on that fateful day.https://buzzardnotes.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/moa.jpgmoaAs we were leaving Valor in the Pacific Monument, Jerri spotted this moa (a feral chicken). He was just pecking his way around the Monument grounds.
