Arizona Wildlife Photos

I have to say that I saw less wildlife than I wanted to while in Arizona. This was largely due to the limited amount of time I spent in the state (four days) and the amount of time spent traveling from site to site in a pickup truck. Still, we did see many interesting creatures.

Those that I was able to photograph included ravens, mule deer, scorpions, rock squirrels, lizards and various insects. I saw but was unable to photograph several coyotes, a jack rabbit and Gambel’s quail. I wanted especially to find and photograph a roadrunner… but they stayed clear of me and my lens.
