Default Wild life nature walk

I'm finally finding time to get back out in the desert for some hiking and nature walks. I've been lucky finding some cooperative wildlife. It was as if they stopped and posed for me.

Pink Hill Trail just after an overcast sunrise.

Doves on ocotillo branch overlooking the view below Pink Hill.
Love Doves

Cotton tail bunny stopped eating saguaro fruit for me to take his picture. I walked to the side to get a better angle for the shot. It sat patiently watching me while I got into position.

This owl sat on the branch watching me walk up to him to take the photo. Nice eye contact!

I hope you enjoy seeing some of the Sonoran Desert animals.
Enjoy!

All are great shots, but I really love the owl and the trail makes me want to walk it.

Thanks! At first I thought of "Love Doves" but then I thought they were saying: "Hey, guess who just washed the car?"

Thank you Sandi! I took a bunch of pictures of the owl. There were 3 young owls that I followed from tree to tree.
