It is interesting that we don't see coyotes and bobcats as much during the summer. They are still are around, but probably under cover for most of the daylight hours. The result is that the rabbits -- especially the more common and abundant Desert Cottontails, seem to be having a convention here every day. Normally when you walk toward a wild animal -- especially rabbits -- they run away. But here, they seem to have learned that I am not interested in harming them so they just watch me as I walk toward them and go into the office. If I keep going beyond the office (and toward them) then they run. The Jackrabbits are a little more skidish here than at Saguaro National Park. They tend to freeze allowing wonderful photos in Saguaro Park. Here they run. Go figure that. Anyway, a Black Tailed Jackrabbit has been coming around every day in the late afternoon. They like the Mesquite Tree pods that are now falling to the ground. So, I was able to get some photos.
