Sorry - I am still learning to use my camera and the pictures aren't always that great...but they give you the sense of here.

Magpies, huge, noisy - they sound like a cross between monkeys and parrots. Very bold and great scavengers. The sparrows here are huge and fearless - they have lots of crumbs from the tourists.

The mule deer are very common on our street. This is a small mule deer which I saw on the way home from walking Charley to work.

This is the type of wildlife I am happy seeing...all the big, furry creatures can stay away.
