Field Notes: Arizona Critters

Unfortunately, I didn’t see that many critters whilst traveling through Arizona. I was hoping to see a roadrunner or a rattlesnake or a tarantula or a scorpion, but ... no such luck.

Or, perhaps the fact that I did not see any of those creatures was the lucky part.

: )

I caught a glimpse of what I believed to be a tiny squirrel (naturally, I’m not sure of the exact kind; I think it was one like the ones on Emily’s postcard) when I arrived at Saguaro National Park-East; however, it was way too quick for me to snap a shot of it.

I got a couple of lizards and some birds, though, at various sites in the state.

Those last three birds are love birds that belong to Kesara’s sister.
