Big Bend has been full of little surprises this week. A javelina wandered by like it was just out for a stroll. People call them wild pigs but they are not pigs at all. They belong to their own family and have lived in this desert for ages.

Then I noticed a walking stick hanging on our cats cattery. At first it looked just like a twig until it started moving. They survive by blending in so well that you can be staring straight at one and still not see it.

And down by the palms we spotted a young night heron standing perfectly still. They usually come out in the evenings and they are some of the best hunters, waiting quietly to snap up fish and frogs.

The desert has its own way of reminding you it is never empty. There is always life watching and moving around you.

Is anyone else spotting these huge groups of turkey vultures around Big Bend lately? We even noticed a few ravens flying right alongside them.
