  Thanks! We love our birdies! One of my favorite cartoons as a kid was the roadrunner with Wile E. Coyote. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd_41tM6H2Y

Thanks for this post. It reminded me of the few nights we spent in an RV park in Cathedral City. Your bird photos are amazing!

  Thank you! We love visiting Palm Springs. And you can take day trips to Joshua Tree and Anna Borrego parks. If you plan to visit I will be happy to give you tips! We visit every couple years because it is a favorite. 🙂
