We headed south hoping to find the melanistic mule deer, did locate them, but only had distant photo opps. A few things did get in the way though. A couple ringnecksI Some swans did a fly by It was warm enough for a bath where the honkers found open water Sharpshin was doing the sit and wait thing Raccons were working the stream bank immediately below a spring outlet And the score for the day was a barn owl out in daylight Last edited by 1minute; 01/01/16. 1Minute

We can usually find one, but they're typically backed well into the bushes. We saw this one score a nice chubby meadow vole, and a marsh hawk showed up trying for a take away. Could not get those events composed in a frame, however. And Cookie just reminded me that I forgot the bunny. Pretty much everything was out just trying to make a living. Felt a little guilty going home to a nice warm wood stove. Have a good one, Last edited by 1minute; 01/02/16. 1Minute

It wasn't foggy, but this is the best Cookie could do at focusing with about 5 intervening twigs in the way. Neat looking birds, but they simply do not sit out in the open. 1Minute

This week we are getting snow each day as a series of storms move across Arizona. I hope to get out to the Canyon when the snowstorm breaks- my favorite time to be there. Doug Doug's Photo Gallery
