A few more from Arizona

[John Slone]

All three of these animals live in the vicinity of the Grand Canyon. The first is an animal that I am still reluctant to drop into any one species until futher sampling is completed.

I hope you all enjoy even if they are revered in most peoples minds.
"Revered: To regard with awe, deference, and devotion."

Heck, I do. But I don't know about most folks. :rofl

Seriously, those are wonderful shots. I love seeing these manacing creatures in their environment. And what a gorgeous environment it is.

Very well done.

Excellent work, Mr. Slone. Your subjects make birding seem somewhat less than adventurous.

Outstanding shots John :thumb . I'll stick to birds and gators myself.

Thanks for the compliments. it really isn't all the adventurous just need to be aware of your surroundings. Jwear next time your in town let me know and I am sure I can show you few intersting animals.
