Love the Fawn (but you knew that)!  Love the name Crazy Nathan!

Every ranch should have a Crazy Nathan. Right out of Steinbeck.

  Hi all, I'm glad some of you are enjoying my pics. Unfortunately I'm only doing a few a day and posting them to facebook because the internet service here is really slow and frustrating. Day 3 in paradise was spent trying to find an eagle one of the ranch hands spotted a few days ago in a tree on the ranch. I didn't find it but I had fun trying. The bulls at the lower end of the ranch were following me back and forth as I drove along the dirt road. I think I may be a bull whisperer! lol  Anyway, here's the link for some of my pics from yesterday.

Thems would be Steers, not bulls!

Whatever you want to call them, they sure do talk a lot and it cracks me up!

Hey MAK, one of your turkey vultures looks a lot like a Black Vulture.  It might just be the angle of the bird in the photo, but one of the distinguishing features of Black Vultures is that they have very short tails (Turkey Vultures have much longer tails).  Here's a good photo of one the air:

You can also see that they have white on the ends of their wings, while Turkey Vultures have white on the trailing side of their wings...in addition to the short tail.  So you might see if you can see any of these distinguishing characteristics.  It's not unusual for a Black Vulture or two to hang out with a group of Turkey Vultures, so you could have both at the same time.

Thanks Patti I'll check it out next time I spot them.

Day 4 in paradise was hawk day. I found 1 on the ranch and 1 out on the main road. I also saw some African geese in a pond on the dirt road that leads out of here. I hope you like the pics I chose as yesterdays best!

I can't believe I've been in paradise for 5 days already! Today was Coyote day here on the ranch. I saw the first one in a pasture near ranch headquarters and a second one in the back part of the property. Took a ride into Rogers and found out that the ranch is actually in the town of Pearidge but the mailing address is Bentonville. Redneck country pure and simple!  Any way, if you want to check out my pics of the day just click on the link below.
