This photo is from earlier this year because I've been unable to get many good photos of the quail as they scatter before I can take a picture.
Pigeons and doves are slightly less flighty.
Sometimes, if I sit still enough, some of the smaller birds will forget that I'm there and come to investigate the birdseed we leave for them.
And while I feared that clearing the lot to the west of the house would drive them all away, there are still at least a few rabbits in the neighborhood.
Not pictured are the lizards. A couple of days ago, I nearly stepped on one tiny little lizard (not pictured here) that was maybe 5 cm long. Fortunately, it fled before I accidentally squashed it.
