This turned out to be a great wildlife day. We decided to do a hike we have done a few times. Parker Canyon Lake, about 35 miles south of us. It is a good size leak with a trail all around it. Skye loves it. A water oriented hike.
Driving out we see a big ol' jackrabbit crossing the road. He didn’t stay for photos, just disappeared in the grass. Then 2 pronghorn crossing the road! They hung out for a photo op! Later in the afternoon there is another lone Pronghorn out on the grassland, all alone. That’s unusual. We’ve never seen one solo.
The lake was beautiful, quiet, cool, nice breeze, full sunny day all day. We met a few people along the trail, several fishermen on shore, a few dogs and 4 horseback riders. The only boats we ever see are fishing boats and those are almost always trolling if they are moving at all.
Moving tomorrow, going over to Hereford, just east of Sierra Vista. Only about 45 miles. We’ll spend the weekend there at Guy & Elaine’s house. Same VT cowboy friends you read about a month ago.
Great Mullein, velvety soft leaf
Photos got a bit out of order here
Stocking fish, probably Rainbow Trout
Grab the fishing pole. That an easy few meals you can catch. It’s was warming up here. We had two days in the high 50’s to low 60’s. Now we are back to the 20-30’s.
ReplyDeleteHaving water nearby always makes more wildlife and vegetation. like the look of having trees nearby. It's one of the reasons why Pat and I never made the move to Arizonia when the opportunity arose.
