In addition to the Long Eared Owl, there were a variety of other photo ops:

This Sacred Datura nestled among weeds and grasses.

A  Pipevine Swallowtail was one of hundreds of butterflies fluttering around Hot Springs Wash.

And, here in a dry part of the wash, a White Tail Doe with her fawn.

Finally, a Red Naped Sapsucker seemed insistent on drilling in this cottonwood tree along the wash.
