Show us your critters!

This beauty was spotted in the Mcdowell Mountains north of Phoenix.. First wild one I've ever seen. 

Rocky Mountain bighorns climbing in Rock Canyon

Tarantula found on our way in to Namaste (Kolob/Zions)

Northern Pacific rattlesnake on our hike up to Snake Dike (Yosemite)...only got a photo after it hid under a rock

Midget faded rattlesnake at our local crag

and another Midget faded hiking back from a local via ferrata

I do not have a pic, but, a highlight of our bouldering trip to the Snake river canyon today, was seeing a Golden eagle! And up close! Sooooo beautiful, and, as they are really only out in our desert canyonlands here, I just don't get to see them very often, and certainly not close!

But here's a pic of an ugly old bird, and a slab climbing animal....

Omg, a feral brick!

Part of a herd of 100+ elk who just spent time grazing in my yard. 

Edge.  That's pretty rad. 

The pair of Cooper's hawks a block from my house are almost like my outdoor pets now. I see them two or three times per day while walking my dog. They let me get within 10' while they shred songbirds.

A few weeks ago in Seneca WV

No pic of the actual critter...look closely..... Bear paw prints of the culprit who ransacked my car the other night. I left my window down, luckily the bear was able to get out! No damage!

Opportunistic grackle popping around convenience store/gas station, on the drive to City of Rocks.

How the heck does a sideways tail even work??
