Expansive Views
Like saguaros, ocotillos provide winged predators perches with expansive views of the desert floor. Even when they leaf out, their leaves are small and don’t stay long. Their thinner arms generally host smaller predators like kestrels or this loggerhead shrike, but in the far distance I could seen an ancient ocotillo entertaining a Harris’ hawk.

The Valley of the Sun
With the sun sinking in the west an old saguaro gives a pair of kestrels an expansive view of the desert floor.

The Desert With No Sand
The title is a bit of an exaggeration but during our first year in Arizona while we were choosing where to settle down, it was the abundance and diversity of the fauna and flora that led me to our neck of the woods.

Judge Me By My Size, Do You?
You never know where you’re going to come across a Jedi. Some are rather small but don’t comment on it, they’re rather sensitive about it.

Well Hidden

Last Call
With the setting sun disappearing behind western hills, a Gambel’s quail and I bid each other good evening.

The Elephant & Bear & I
It’s been another dry summer so The Elephant is a shadow of her normal self. I suppose the same could be said of Bear and I. Even with long shadows from the rising sun I couldn’t get his to pop up high enough, I need to get him some stilts. I always try to sneak in some wildlife into my shots, there’s a red-tailed hawk perched atop one of the distant saguaros.
