Studies in office blues no. 7

I've been stuck in the office lately. I know there's plenty of things to look out just outside of my office, but I'm itching to get back on a couple of my projects. The llano estacado is a big place, and I need to get out in it ASAP if I am going to have enough material to finish up all of the things I want to do.

Back to the office though.

Every hour or so, I try to wander around a little bit to keep sane. These observations are just from that. The Toxostoma curvirostre are such great and curious birds. If I leave the exterior door and my office door open, I'll sometimes look up to see a thrasher peeking in on me.

Of course Quiscalus mexicanus are everywhere. I actually like them. I know that makes me weird.

Of the three rabbits/hares we have here, I probably have more photos of S. audobonii than any other. They're right out side the office (though so are L. californicus and I can't help but waste a few minutes watching them.

I think yesterday was the first time I've seen the Haemorphous mexicanus around. I'm sure I've just not been paying enough attention.

Anyway, my break is over; back on my head.
