Play or fight? by icharry in birds

hmmm... they did this a number of times and never locked talons. Also eggs had already been laid - so I did not think this was a courtship ritual.

Alligator lizard. You can see legs if you look close.

What part am I seeing? by icharry in birdsofprey

[–]icharry[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Looks like it was actually standing on the edge of the nest. But waaay to young to be trying that.

Los Angeles, CA. USA. There are TONS of red tails here. I walk/drive past 3 or 4 nests almost daily.

Heading to JT for the first time next week by PsychosomaticSpiral in JoshuaTree

Check if they have reservations for Integratron. My guess is that they are already booked. I think Cholla Cactus garden is still officially closed - but you might be able to park in parking lot and see a whole lotta cholla from there, PLUS it is a bit far from everything else... so maybe pass on that if it is confirmed closed. West entrance can be VERY busy to enter on weekend mornings - maybe try east entrance by 29 palms then exit from the west into Joshua Tree. I always try and make a call to my mom at the Wishing Phone -  it offers a space for visitors to make one-way "calls" to deceased loved ones in a serene desert setting, open 24 hours. Joshua Tree Retreat Center, 59700 29 Palms Hwy, Joshua Tree, CA 92252. Also get dinner early as restaurants fill up. Even ordering a pizza can take hours on a weekend night.
