First I have to make a correction about a previous post. The Rock indian head is Geronimo, not Cochise. Sorry! The top photo here is a Harris's Hawk that has landed ever so delicately on top of a saguaro and is keeping it's wings out to "test" the air. I was at the Sonoran Desert Museum in Tucson and I was fortunate to be there when they were doing a raptor demonstration. They let four Harris's Hawks fly; they are the only N. American accipiter that hunts cooperatively. It was an amazing thing to witness.
The second photo is of wild rock formations in the Dragoon Mountains where I went hiking last week. The hiking guide described them so: "The rock formations rise impressively as the trail climbs, resembling orderly stacks of tilted stone that were arranged by some forgotten giant."
Yesterday on my hike I saw a White-Nosed Coati in a tree - of course I did not have my camera!

I love those kind of rock formations. I found some near Cheyenne at Vedauwoo State Park. Here's a drawing I did of them http://www.kathyhodge.com/paintings/residencies/rockies/slideshow/05.htm
Your posts make me wish I was west.
