Merlin is a true magician

Merlin is a bird identifying app that we discovered, and it’s amazing!


We’ve had a blast identifying birds that we’ve see and heard singing as we hiked from our cabin in Pine.







These are the birds that we saw and heard in one afternoon while sitting on the deck at our cabin.



We took a beautiful walk on the paths at our Leisure World home in Mesa and all these birds sang to us as dawn was breaking.






The vultures nest in the tops of all the eucalyptus trees that surround the golf courses in the fall.  They don’t sing to us and we’re glad.  We don’t want their song of death.  

But they are beautiful as they soar through the sky and spread their wings to dry off and warm up after hunting in the early morning.


Merlin identified this bird for us while we were on our pond walk.




You see….Merlin truly is a magician!

When we returned home there was more magic in our very own garden.  This cactus blooms only at night, and each blossom only lives for one night.

 
Nature is truly the most magical of all!
