Javelina like birdseed too. This mornings visitor from our window:

He was about two feet tall. They are very fast.

After the photo I chased him off so the birds could eat. Then our first batch of quail babies came. I think I
counted eleven, their little bodies about as big as the end of your thumb. Usually we'll get up to a dozen of these
quail families each year--so friggin cute--and the mom and dad so protective.

1. Where is that at? It looks like AZ.

When I was growing up in Northern AZ we would get Javelina all the time, nasty little beasts.

2. In the boonies outside Sierra Vista. (SE Az)

I'm about 15 miles from Mexico, as the crow flies.

3. Oh Nice, down by the Army base.

That is a great part of Arizona and the best part is even when it's hot during the day it cools off at night unlike Phoenix.

4. I was guessing South Texas, with all those mesquites.

The javalina are ranging farther and farther north in Texas; I have relatives who see them in the San Antonio area, which never used to be the case. Cool animals.

5. My property is at 4700 ft. Lots of mesquite, some quite large.

The Huachuca Mts, a few miles to the west rise to 9680 ft. Miller Peak is the tallest, most
southern mountain in the US. Lots of forests and streams.
The weather here is as good as it gets. Never too hot, never too
cold. No hurricanes, no tornadoes, no floods (the occasional flash flood). Actually the worst
weather is the wind this time of year, and even that is not too bad.

6. Sounds like a nice set-up. Enjoy. (nt)

7. What do they taste like?

9. Oh. I know those as peccaries!

I Wiki'ed them. Guess you guys call them javelinas. Down South we just had wild boars and they terrified me.
