Resident Bat on Ceiling We had another visit with Dan Taylor from Bat Conservation International. Hopefully the Double Circle Ranch will be doing a “Water for Wildlife” (including bats) project. Basically, we would be cleaning out and fencing a dirt tank. The fence keeps livestock out of the water so it stays clean for birds, [...] Brown Water in Eagle Creek Well, we were worried that Eagle Creek would get filled with silt after the big Wallow fire – and unfortunately we were right. The creek, usually clear as glass, has run the color of a 10oz cup of coffee with a tablespoon of milk – not quite black, but almost. [...] Antelope Habitat Improvement Fence Workshop We just got the figures from the Arizona Antelope Foundation habitat improvement project held here at the Double Circle Ranch. There were 30 people here from as far away as Albuquerque and Prescott, and as close as Clifton. The volunteers drove about 10,896 miles at their own expense to [...] Summer Monsoons Will Bring Needed Rain to the Ranch July 25. We are still awful dry here at Double Circle Ranch. We have had a total of about ¾” of rain all monsoon so far. But it is supposed to rain today and tomorrow. We have our fingers crossed.

Here on Eagle Creek we can see smoke and fire plumes, but nothing on the creek itself. We did get an email from some friends on the Blue. People in houses [...] Missing Texas Longhorn Steer June 21 I hope I didn’t jinx us on Wallow fire. We went from no smoke to lots of smoke and a big smoke plume not far from the NE part of the Double Circle. The fire reports say crews are trying to keep the flames east of 191. [...] Today is the first day that we haven’t seen either fire or smoke or both from the Wallow Fire. [...] |
