The Bobcats were out and about and gave me a great opportunity to try out my new 70-300 IS lens. Information on Bobcats can be located at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobcat
This time of year the raptor free flight program is in full swing at the desert museum. This Harris's Hawk is one of the stars making the program well worth seeing. Harris's hawks hunt in groups and take turns chasing down their prey. Information on the Harris's Hawk can be accessed here: www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Harriss_Hawk/id.
Most everyone has heard of africanized bees or "killer bees". Here in Arizona these bees have cross bred with the local honey bees.
I always enjoy the butterflies including this Gulf Fritillery. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_Fritillary

Lovely photos--I especially enjoyed the butterflies. Those can't be easy to catch!
