Ash Canyon - September1 through September 27, 2026
I've included more photos than usual in an effort to catch up, but will be back to normal in the next update. The list starts with a White Dove that landed on the wall around my back yard. It's the first of its species that I've ever seen, and really isn't a wild bird. It's a domestic homing pigeon that you might see released at a wedding. This one may have gotten lost or decided to escape. I wonder how well it will fare in the wild.
