Always a treat to see a resident #bobcat on #cameratrap!

Had four mule #deer doe visitors last night. Volume up as this one munches marigolds and sniffs the #cameratrap.

For those of us who are #word nerds (of a certain age) - and who love #star gazing - tonight's triple conjunction is a WIN-WIN! 😆 #tripleconjunction

Buns for your Friday! Desert #cottontails coming your way. It's almost baby time!

We've been having lots of Harris's #hawk visitors! This guy was hunting doves near the quail block (which had been knocked off the platform), but missed out on a meal. #cameratrap youtu.be/hxGZg79w9wo

"OK, everyone ... let's all space out - about five inches a apart - and look up at the camera at the same time." Gambel's #quail always make me laugh, but this was a good one. #cameratrap

It's #Caturday and there's nothing quite like #bobcat toe beans on #cameratrap. 😻

Always fun when the green-tailed #towhees come to visit -- and the Harris's #hawks! (Hoping to post some spectacular H. hawk videos we got this past week). #birds

This sums up one of my #cameratrap experiences from the last month. Ok, there were some gray foxes, a bobcat, roadrunner, jackrabbits, a mule deer, and javelina. But mostly these. 😆

SO many of you stepped up to stand beside me in my fight to save this portion of the desert during this 1st "round" with BLM... many of you complete strangers. Many went beyond the call. I'm 💯 speechless & cannot begin to express what it means. MANY tears 🥲of gratitude were shed this past week.💓

Today's the day! Y'all... This is how diverse the Sonoran Desert is! See my pinned tweet about how to save these creatures from the impacts of #copper mining. Write a letter by April 14 to BLM (or sign @CenterForBioDiv 's letter tinyurl.com/42xdc324). TY for those who already stepped up! 🙏🥹

Lots of fun visitors on my porch and outside my window this week! Yellow-rumped #warbler, gopher #snake, Harris's #hawk, #tarantula.

Still doing last-minute ID of insects in our mountains for our Environmental Response to proposed copper mining. SE AZ, mountains 4500 ft elevation. Any ideas, #entomologists?

My Op Ed in the Arizona Daily Star ran yesterday... dispelling some myths about copper mining in the State of Arizona. It's short and sweet. tucson.com/opinion/colu...
