Omaha NE, Last big day outing in Ajo Part I

Our last big planned outing in Ajo was to drive 40 miles of the El Camino Del Diablo.  This dirt road goes through part of the Cabeza Prieta Refuge and we were still hoping to see the elusive Sonoran Pronghorn.....no such luck but we did see some other interesting things:



yes, it's another redtail but I can't resist 



Not a Redtail!  This is a Harris Hawk and was part of a group of three I managed to get a few pics of.  They tend to hunt in threes and I was thrilled to get even these not so good shots.













another phainopepla, again, I can't resist they are so pretty!

    How fun to see the group of Harris'! It's quite a challenge to snap them flying!
