The City of Scottsdale states that to reduce the threat of wildfire, Scottsdale's McDowell Sonoran Preserve will close at noon July 4. The preserve will re-open around 5am Tuesday, July 5. Pinnacle Peak Park, 26802 N. 102nd Way, will be open from 5am to 8 pm Monday, July 4. 

Fireworks restrictions in place. The City of Scottsdale also points out the use of fireworks is prohibited in Scottsdale's McDowell Sonoran Preserve, Pinnacle Peak Park and all properties located within one mile of these fragile desert Iands. THIS MEANS THAT FIREWORKS ARE PROHIBITED WITHIN SINCUIDADOS. The use of fireworks is also prohibited on all publicly owned properties, which include but are not limited to, city buildings, city parking lots, city parks, public schools and city streets. Violation of these restrictions is a civil offense punishable by citations and fines. Get more information about firework restrictions and safety tips at ScottsdaleAZ.gov and search "fireworks."

Sincuidados homeowner and wildlife photographer Laurel Strohmeyer provided this video of the owls she and her camera keep an eye on.

"This is some pretty rare footage of the tension and resulting behaviors that can occur between mates during the nesting season," Laurel said. "It's one heck of an effort for these parents to complete the cycle of raising and training their young. Unlike other raptors, owls are the slowest to learn the necessary skills to set out on their own. They don't simply jump from the nest and fly away. In fact they can only make very short flights and hops and must practice their flight skills for months. As for hunting, that is also several months in training from both parents."
