WILD LIFE in St. George

 Besides the Corona Virus which is lurking, we have some scary wild life in our back yard including a road runner and hawk who took over our bird bath and no birds have returned. Also the other day, hubby found a tiny lizard that somehow got into our house and is hiding in the computer room some where. How do you catch a tiny lizard who is hiding under desks, etc. You can't set a mouse trap because lizards probably don't like peanut butter or cheese and hubby wants to catch the lizard and release it outside BUT that will be a challenge. I imagine one day in super cleaning we'll come about a dried fossilized lizard in a corner...

One of the few birds we saw before the hawk took over

That's a hawk sitting in the bird bath lurking

He's big and dangerous, caught a dove and had a tasty meal of it.

I'd never seen roadrunners till we moved to St. George-they like little snacks like bugs and lizards. More dangerous than the corona virus to insects and small critters are larger predators. Guess we all have our challenges.
