Actually, I'm in So Cal, the O. C. as we're now known. Yesterday was just freakishly hot because of the Santa Ana winds. I took the wife out for dinner last night and the bank had a temp reading of 87° at 10:00 PM. Might as well have been Az!
The enclosure is Gus' design, 8'X10' with a Palo Verde and a few big rocks I'm borrowing from the breakwater at L.A. harbor. It's really overgrown right now from all the rain earlier this year and a few tomato plants, probably from chuck scat.
One of my improvements this year will have to be to put some kind of cover over it. My son watched a golden eagle fly off with a "black lizard" and so far neither on of my Redtail pair has come out this year. I raised that pair up from hatchlings since June '04. I tell ya, golden eagles may not be on the Federal Endangered Species list but there's one on mine!
