Desert Horses
Welcome to my horse blog, Desert Horses. We live in the desert southwest, near Palm Springs, CA, but board our horses up in our local mountains where it is cooler in the summer. I have 4 horses, all rescues. Here is the ranch up the mountains where the horses stay.

Scrub jay~Wild Bird Wednesday~101613
The horse ranch is FULL of scrub jays, like this guy who landed on a pole near the wash rack last Saturday. Unfortunately, it is also home to a Cooper's hawk. Cathy, the owner, mentioned that the baby quail are disappearing...sigh...We had a scrub jay in our desert neighborhood for nearly 4 years. He, too, disappeared when a Cooper's hawk took up residence. I hope this jay stays out of harm's way. Wild Bird Wednesday for October 16, 2013.
