Wild rabbits--the desert cottontail and jackrabbits scampered behind every cactus. Gambel's quails paraded past our tent oblivious to the camera lens that protruded through the flap.
This rabbit and quail darted at each other back and forth in a little game of trying to get the other to leave.
This time we didn't see antelope and missed hearing coyote calls during the night, but we did hear the braying of wild burros--direct descendants of the pack animals that were brought by gold miners. During one of my early morning walks I spotted two of them in the distance, but didn't have time to switch to the zoom lens.
Anyway, here's the bull snake we spotted in the first few minutes of our arrival. Don't miss part of it on the lower left side of the picture.
