Cookie insisted on vacating the house yesterday, so we took a morning drive. Nothing of substance to see in our current heat, but she did snap a couple pics. A common Nighthawk. Always perch parallel to the branches as opposed to perpendicular like everything else. They will let one drive up within a couple feet, but won't tolerate one out walking. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/PrTwqKtv/NHawk.jpg) An ever present basking Western Fence Lizard ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/nLRk4ghW/Flizard.jpg) Probably a fledgling Eastern King Bird. A rarity for us here in the west. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/MK9vpSPg/EKingB.jpg) And likely a fledgling Burrowing Owl, another rarity for us in the PNW. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/BnMYpMSd/BOwl.jpg)

Those nighthawks look like they’ve got a small beak but when they open their yap you’d swear they could swallow their whole head.

Sweet pics...thanks for sharing.
Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...

They're a relatively new species. First came the fence. 
Fall seven times, stand up eight.
