Unlike the Desert Cottontail which is most often seen here at The Azure Gate and elsewhere in the Sonoran Desert, the Antelope and Blacktail Jackrabbits are less often seen. Saguaro National Park is the most reliable place, but only early morning or just before dusk. Sometimes they will run once they see you, but other times they will either continue eating (grasses or mesquite pods), or pose for a photo. This Antelope Jackrabbit decided to pose. I found him while hiking in the Galiuro Mountains, which is the next mountain range east of the Rincon Mountains (where Saguaro National Park is).
