A Jackrabbit in the Arizona desert.

This is not a cat. This is a #Jackrabbit who approached me on a trail today. He looked me over, then ate a bunch of flowers, seemingly unconcerned by my presence.

Committee advances bill to prohibit state transport of Mexican gray wolf pups; conservationists urge no A committee gave SB 1280 a due-pass recommendation. The bill would stop the Arizona Game and Fish Commission from transporting Mexican gray wolf pups into the state or using public funds to do so; conservation witnesses said the prohibition would undercut recovery efforts and genetic diversity and cited a wild population count of about 319.

A legislative committee's decision to prohibit the transport of Mexican gray wolf pups sparks fierce debate over wildlife recovery efforts and genetic diversity.

🐦Babies!!! And they're SO tiny!

We saw them for the first time two or three days ago, and we know they can leave the nest within a few hours of being hatched, so we think they really are just three days old.

Our resident #great-hornedowls - they are somewhere on our property every evening while we’re out with the dogs. They look up at us now and then and the smaller one likes to vocalize.

Hard to find good grass to eat I guess with the 30-plus year drought.

It’s been nice getting back into more wildlife photography these days. This is a white faced ibis photographed at a local wetlands. #wildlife #wildlifephotography #birds #birding #birdphotography #nature #whitefacedibis #photography #arizona #arizonawildlife

Through the pines near the Grand Canyon, and this bull elk was completely unbothered, grazing like I wasn’t even there. Unreal to watch something this massive move so quietly. #GrandCanyonElk #ArizonaWildlife #BullElk #GrandCanyon #pnwqueerhippie #ElkEncounter #NaturePhotography #SouthwestWildlife
