A few days of traipsing and hunting deer in the hills and all Petey can talk about is hearing his heart beat. Oh dear.
There is nothing like sitting down on a hillside and glassing the opposite hills and canyons. It’s an opportunity to see many wild creatures. And hiking over rocky slopes all day long is a good thing as well. Totally recommended.
This episode is a reminiscence…something I seem to be doing a lot of lately…and also a plea for getting our children and grandchildren out...
Cactus wrens were one of the first Sonoran Desert birds I learned when I arrived in Tucson to go to the University of Arizona....
Petey gets very excited about the flight of male Horse Lubber grasshoppers.
