Cenizo (Leucophyllum frutescens)Autor
bbolduanDescripción
I am unfamiliar with the genus, but I am leaning toward Leucophyllum frutescens because I might describe the flower as more purple than violet, I may describe its throat as inflated rather than narrow, I am a little uncertain about which corolla lobes are hairy, but the hairs are certainly heavier on one side, leaves are closely pubescent and the midrib is evident.

Nopal Redondo (Opuntia orbiculata)Autor
bbolduanDescripción
ID is a guess, based mostly on other local INaturalist reports for similiar looking opuntia. I am sure the ice doesn't help.
I am also unable to any descriptions or much information on synonyms of Opuntia orbiculata which would grow in this area. The apparent best information I found was at https://www.opuntiads.com/

Gorrión de Brewer (Spizella breweri)Autor
bbolduanDescripción
I believe this is a Brewer's, but it is a species I rarely see well at a time of year when I rarely see the genus. I believe Chipping Sparrow can be easily eliminated by the light-colored lores. Does not look like Clay-colored to me.

I believe this is a call I should know, but I am stumped. I am not listening to the tree frog calls, but what must be a bird which chimes in occasionally. It is somewhat reminiscent of a nuthatch or the shower music from Psycho. My initial thought was a young raptor, maybe a crow? Recorded at about 11:00 pm.
