I went to Bulldog Canyon (I know; "Surprise, surprise") after work today.  I got out of the truck and looked up and there was a large bird (as big as a vulture) circling above a mountain ridge.  It had different colors than a vulture, though.  I tried to get a couple of pictures, but it was very far away.  Suzanne checked our bird book and we think it might be a red tailed hawk.  Before you look at the picture and scoff and say, "How could you possibly determine that from that picture?", remember that I have the full resolution picture and you don't.  Nanny nanny boo boo.

While I was perched on the side of the ridge, I was looking to the north and noticed something unusual.  What's missing from the picture below?  Hints:  I'm in the Sonoran Desert.  They are all over the place (except here).  It's rare to see such a large area without any; I think they may have been wiped out here by a fire.

Click below to see all of the pictures.  I think I got some nice ones of some rocks.
