This one didn't make it into my share of images from the Gilbert Riparian Preserve yesterday. It's a very cool bird🪶, but I'm not sure about the lighting.

BTW, we now have 3 distinct rock squirrels; Roxanne, Roxette, & introducing, Rockalina. Pretty sure Rockalina is from Roxanne’s most recent litter b/c she’s half as big & initially followed Roxanne around like a shadow (& Roxanne let her, which isn’t true w/ Roxette). #rocksquirrel #AZwildlife

A deer in Madera Canyon in Southern Arizona getting some lunch.
Hard to find good grass to eat I guess with the 30-plus year drought.
