Hanging Out With Who's Up and What's Up

Young Side-blotched lizards hunting on the side walk. A Carpenter bee pulls nectar from flowers of the Desert Willow. What's Up male Side-blotched lizard (shedding) that runs the front porch. Who's Up, female Side-blotched lizard that beats What's Up to the flies nine out of ten times. House sparrows, White Crowned sparrows, Black Headed Cow birds, and White Tailed Antelope squirrels. White Tailed Antelope squirrel taking Kobae leftovers. What's Up, Who's Up, and Kobae. What's Up is none too happy Who's Up is beating him to all the flies so he nips her a couple times and does some push ups to show her he's boss, then comes to Tom, gives him the evil eye and a few push ups to let Tom know he's the one who gets the flies. A small fly lands behind Who's Up and in her hurry to get the fly also gets a piece of cucumber which she has trouble extracting from her mouth without losing the fly. Once doing so, a few celebratory push ups. What's Up is keeping track of a fly airborne. When it lands What's Up stares at it as a good spotter does, then looks to Tom to make sure he saw the spot. He did and a few seconds later there is contact. Tom places a fly between Who's Up and What's Up and the result is the usual. Bugs, the rabbit joins them.
