The mule deer came very close to our rig. It was in early November and all of us workampers hadn't been there very long. They seemed quite shocked to see us obviously they had been using a path by our rigs to get down to the water all summer without being disturbed. We have not seen them come by this way since this picture.
We visited friends at an Rv park south of us that is also on the Colorado River. The park has a large marina with lots of docking and a large boat launch. It has the usual pool, hot tub, exercise room and activity building but it also has its own golf course. This is the green grass in the bird picture. The only green grass in Yuma is in golf courses or you'll find it in the fields being raised as a crop.
We aren't sure what kind of bird this is. I think its an orange variant of a western tanager or its a vermillion flycatcher. Either way a very pretty bird. We also have 6 different varieties of hummingbirds that hang out around the refuge for the winter. I doubt if I will get any good pictures of them but I might give it a try.
