Today we are going on a nature trail walk at a Benedictine Monastery a few miles from Benson at St. David.
Our Lady Of Guadalupe Church in the grounds of the Monastery.
Spirit Lake, fed by a artesian well .
Ring-necked Ducks females above and the male below
The trail winds round the little lake and then through this gate and on to the San Pedro River. The river actually has some water in it, just stagnant ponds with a trickle of water flowing between them. They really need some rain here.
Two shots of a Field Sparrow, according to my ibirds app it dosn't go as far west as Arizona but here it is.
Arriving back at the Monastery and Spirit Lake, with an American Coot floating by.
Back in the Monastery compound we came across a couple of peacocks strolling around.
We passed a very pleasant couple of hours wandering around this place, quiet and peaceful, the peacock is sitting on the fence of the meditation garden.
