Hi from Ramsey Canyon Cabins

We have a beautiful, cool Sunday morning here in the canyon. Two four point bucks joined me in the meadow this morning. They still have velvet on their antlers and look so majestic and stately…..I love to get up to this scene in the mornings. The big beautiful wild peacock did not come for breakfast and did not roost in his usual tree last night….I hope he is ok out there somewhere.

Guest Comments last week

Comment left by one of our guests on August 16th after spending a week here at the Ramsey Canyon Cowboy Cabin……

Dave said “Thank you for the stay at the Cowboy cabin 8/9 through 8/16.  I had a wonderful time, it was a great vacation being able to sit outside and see a dozen different Hummingbirds, turkey, deer, Gray Hawks.  I hope to return next spring for a vacation.  Thanks for the delicious dinner the first night I arrived!”

The weather is in the 60’s and 70’s with light sprinkles in the afternoon…..

July Morning in Ramsey Canyon

Good morning to all early risers, it is 4:54 am and it is beautiful outside, last night’s rain cooled the air and greened up the meadow.  The rain has not come down as we had hoped for this year but it is still drizzling a little now and then.  The birds and animals seem to be faring pretty well, but we are all waiting for that beautiful creek to begin flowing again. 

We are looking forward to the second annual Chili Cook off here at the cabins and hope many of you can make it.  We have a lot of fun, door prizes, prizes and memorabilia for cooks, games and fun for the kids and we honor all October Birthdays at the same time…..hope to see you here…October 3….

June at the Cabins

Wow it is just great weather here this summer, cool with light breeszes.  Once in a while a light dust of rain….the temperature this morning is 60 degrees at 6:2 5 am.

Out the window you can enjoy the Gould Turkeys rummaging around, a group of young deer, and the beautiful Scott’s Oriale singing his song at the feeders….The Black Headed Grosebeak is also waiting in the wings for the feeder and a Mexican Blue Jay just landed.  He is so big that all the other birds move out…these birds are here all year long, they don’t migrate and they love unshelled peanuts.   

The gray squirrel has given up for now on this new feeder at the window, it is too hard for him to get into.  He is trying to get there from the windows now…Love the squirrels but they really take a lot of bird food….

Good Morning from the cabins in Ramsey Canyon

Hi, wanted everyone to know what a beautiful day it is up here, sun shining throught the beautiful silver oaks and only 50 degrees outside.  The wild peacock is sitting on the roof looking beautiful and sunning himself.  His tail feathers are 6 ft long now,,,,,

Birds I saw yesterday at the cabin window, blue bunting, redstart, bullocks oriole, bridled titmouse, white breasted nut hatch, yellow rumped warbler and many hummingbirds too

Beautiful Weather

It is just perfect weather here in the canyon, it is 40 degrees this morning at 5:52, wish you were here.  This month is great birding in the canyon, many species have been seen already, Redstart, White Breasted Nuthatch, Acorn Woodpecker, Mexican Jays, and that is just a few.  Hummingbirds, Magnificant, Broad Tail, Anna’s, White Ear, Broad Bill and lots more….come and see for your  self. 

Oh and we don’t want to forget the beautiful wild peacock that appeared last summer, he is still here!!!  He survived the winter in tree tops and on roofs, he is an Indigo Blue with a 5 foot long feather tail….wow.  I will try to post a picture for all of you to see.

Cold in the Canyon

It has been very cold in the Canyon this week, 27 on Monday, 31 on Tudsday,27 on Wednesday and today 46…glad for the warm weather….

Dusting of Snow

We had our first dusting of snow on December 26th, it was beautiful.  The canyon is alive with Gould Turkeys and Deer.  The beautifful wild peacock comes with them in the morning and evening, just hoping there will be a grain of bird seed somewhere.  The Magnificent Hummingbird is still hanging around in this cold weather as well as the beautiful blue Mexican Jays and of course those pesky squirrels…..

Merry Christmas

Wishing all a wonderful Christmas this year.  An update on weather, a cool 40 degrees out at 7:05 this morning.  A stroll along the creek will find you some wild turkey and deer looking for a drink and something to eat.  White Cyrpess Trees are bare now but look beautiful with their white bark reaching for the sky.  The sun is coming up slowly over the mountain and you can see the wonderful winter sky.  Come visit us????

Cold Morning at Ramsey Canyon Cabins

It is 41 degrees her this morning at 7 am.  A lot cooler than the last post.  The trees are still golden and orange, making the sunrise just beautiful with color.  Our vacation home in Bisbee is also just beautiful this time of year.  It is rented this week by a couple from New Hampshire.  What a change for them, wow.
