Ajo!

I made it to Ajo last Sunday, late in the afternoon. I drove all the way from Bosque del Apache NWR, a long day. I don’t drive much over 60 mph when towing, so it takes awhile. Anyway, I was happy to see my favorite spot was empty when I got to the campground. There are only a few other outfits here. I got the astrophotography equipment set and am taking images tonight.

This Eastern Phoebe has been at Lake Ajo for several weeks now, I was hoping it would stay until I got here, as I needed the species for my year list. Species 376 for the year.
I saw two Gray Fox in trees yesterday. This one had an odd position, with its head held down below a fork in the branch.

It’s not often I can get a good shot of a Northern Harrier. This female posed for a lot of shots.
