After almost a week, finally getting into the groove of the hunt for these animals, which is the most
pleasurable element on the trip. Having someone point animals out to me detracts from the thrill of
locating them.
During this time period, this was not all the animals located. Only halfway through this memory card, there will be a number left to show you. We're not even into some of the wilder creatures of
this ecosystem, and unfortunately we are in the wrong season for poisonous vipers and the Gila Monster, so there will be a return trip.
Some of the rarer birds include the Red-faced Warbler and the Buff-breasted Flycatcher, some of which the average person will never observe. It is my great pleasure to show the beauty of these animals, as well as the secrets into the nesting behavior.
The Cactus Wren, Phainopepla and the Coues' White-tailed Deer are also a sampling of the heart of the desert's finest denizens.
The odd little Burrowing Owl is also a wonder in the birding world, making a home in old prairie
dog burrows. They can be found in the western half of the country.
The Ramsay Canyon Leopard frog is also an amphibian from only this restricted area, making it a
true treasure in Arizona.
The Black-tailed Gnatcatcher is restricted to the American Southwest and Steller's Jay makes its home in the west, preferring mature coniferous woods, as dense as possible, but will emerge from their confines from time-to-time.
