Life in the Desert

I just moved to Phoenix, Arizona.  It is so hot here NOBODY goes outside!!!  I have been out looking for evidence of life forms every day and still, nobody! I have swam more than any fish I have ever caught and just walking from the car to the store makes my but sweat!  There are a lot of interesting birds that live in the yard though.  A woodpecker wakes me up every morning at 6 by pecking on the chimney!  We have a family of Quail and the babies are so small they look like little dust bunnies hopping behind their mother.  There started out being 5 babies, now they are down to 2.....  We also have a nest with babies in it right outside the door in the ceiling fan on the patio.  The mom and dad spend all day flying in and out feeding all their babies! we have lots of animals in our yard the javelinas came and knocked over our trash can and ate everything in it and.we went on a hike and saw three coyotes
