About Dancing Turtle Tank

Dancing Turtle Tank is located on the eastside of the Chiricahua Mountains, in SE Arizona. At an average of 4500 ft in elevation, it is sandwiched between Chihuahuan Desert scrub and Oak grassland. Dancing Turtle Draw runs along the North side boundary with a string of Live Oak, Manzanita, Rhus, and some Beargrass. The draw gets diversity from the plants from the higher Oak, Juniper woodlands. Dancing Turtle Tank sits at the confluence of Dancing Turtle Draw and an unnamed wash that has the North and West slope as its watershed. This is also happens to be the driveway to our home.

Oh Deer


The Mule deer have been jumping the fence into the yard lately. Last night the dogs were barking inside the house on and off all night. I have been taking the pan feeders into the barn after all the birds are asleep. This morning I went out and a finch feeder was on the ground and smashed into a couple of pieces. Also a stump that a feeder sits on was knocked over.

I really am not encouraging the deer, because they are also stripping, pines and cypress of their needles.
