Happy #Caturday from Squeezy. He gets a little nutty when he plays on his cat tree. The head pop-through at the end cracks me up.

Happy Halloween! Something about these #doves, captured early-morning on the #cameratrap - with their glowing eyes - is ultimately creepy. Perfect for today.

Even though this #bobcat isn't giving me any good shots, I'm very happy to see him around on the #cameratraps! 😻

Did a quick overnight #RV camping trip for our 26-year anniversary. This is in Tucson's Gilbert Ray campground. The #SonoranDesert continues to take my breath away. Squeezy loves it, too.

I've been seeing quite a few #walkingsticks in the desert lately. I just LOVE these #insects!

Another beautiful #bobcat on #cameratrap at #CopperCreek. Her home will become a waste-rock dump, and the creek will be entirely blown out by open pits, if #mining moves forward in this area.

Y'all have seen me post #cameratrap images of white-nosed #coatimundi in our #Arizona Sky Island ecosystem: the Galiuro Mountains. This time we got a great shot of the paw pads that make those interesting paw prints! Click to enlarge full-size.

This is what REAL nature looks like ... a picture perfect #cameratrap image of a mama #racoon and her kits in Arizona's #Galiuro Mountains. (Not this #AI crap we're seeing all over the Internet).

🔉up for lil red noises. The #javelina found leftover mealworms the birds didn't get. Mama and two youngsters caught on #cameratrap.

We don't often see cloudy and overcast days in the desert - but we've sure been getting them this fall! #Galiuro Mountains hidden behind clouds! #SkyIslands

What a lovely visitor last night - taking advantage of the 1/4" of rain we got! Arizona Gray #Fox. Love the glistening water on her fur!
