Hiding in Plain Sight

 

Besides all the bird sightings from last Sunday, here are a few of the little critters I encountered on my walk.  This rabbit thought he was hiding under a shrub but I spotted him.

This squirrel scampered across the trail in front of me and then stopped for a snack on the other side.  Those mesquite seed pods must be pretty tasty.  

Finally, this little desert spiny lizard stopped by for a quick visit.  It seems like these fellows are always happy to pose for a photo or two.

  4. I've passed by rabbits at night that I wouldn't have seen but for the fact that they moved.

  5. A wonderful variety of critters. The rabbit's ears are really tall, it must have good hearing. :)

  7. You'd like the lizards we have here, tuatara and skinks. Rabbits are classed a as a pest, sad cos they are cute.
