Four Pronghorn
I saw these four Pronghorn - Atilocapra Americana - in Kaibab National Forest just a few miles from the south gate of Grand Canyon National Park. Coconino County, Arizona. I took the photo from the driver's seat of a safari truck I drove as a tour guide as we traversed 16 miles of dirt roads to see wildlife and then head for the edge of the Grand Canyon for sunset. It was a fun gig.

Bobcat at River's Edge
This Bobcat was crouched down on the Mohave County Arizona side of the Colorado River below Topock Gorge in the Lower Colorado River Valley. I was floating by in my kayak and did a "double-take" when I first caught sight of it and, then paddled back upstream to float by again for this photo. I loved seeing it! What a wonderful surprise!

Elk in Kaibab National Forest near Grand Canyon National Park
My wife and I hid behind a blind near a watering hole in Kaibab National Forest one evening. Before long these elk showed up to drink. It was nearing sunset, hence the back lighting. We called it our "blind date".

Side-blotched Lizard in the Pima Wash Rock Garden
I think this lizard looks proud :) He's in the Pima Wash Rock Garden in Lake Havasu City (my creation) where the lizard population has expanded by improving habitat.
