Yarrow's Spiny Lizard, I like this because it was overcast therefore diffuse light.
Usually I get these lizards out in the open in the bright, harsh sunlight,
Chiricahua Fox Squirrel, also known as the Mexican Fox Squirrel.
Perhaps the best photo I have of this species.
This is not a lubber grasshopper, it can fly. When it flies, the wings are bright red.
Unfortunately, I haven't mastered flight shots of grasshoppers yet.
UPDATE: I've learned that about 10% of this species of grasshopper can
fly, therefore some lubbers can fly and this is a Horse Lubber.
I should have recognized it, having seen them in past years in Arizona.
The hummingbirds come in to the feeder almost till dark, so I practice on them
before the bats come out. Here I got a Blue-throated and Rufous in the same frame.
An Eastern Patch-nosed Snake. I've always found Western Patch-nosed before, the Eastern is rarer in Arizona.
One of my better flight shots of a Mexican Long-tongued Bat.
The Ringtail that was raiding my hummingbird feeder.
