The wildlife around Arizona tends to ne fairly tame, well around public sites it does, and this generally allows a good look at things and odd photographic opportunities. Tassle-eared Squirrels run up and down trunks, Desert Cottontails disappear into the distance and Mule Deer stare. Around Grand Canyon the Rock Squirrels will follow you around hoping for a morsel and Least Chipmunks gather their nuts in September. Butterfly wise there were not so many. Monarchs were common, their congeners The Queen were also pretty common. Aside form that it we just saw the odd interesting insect and managed a few snaps, I think I added ten species to my N. America list.
For those interested a trip report will apear as a tab at the top of the page when done, below the very final few snaps from Arizona.
Least Chipmunk, Mule Deer, Rock Squirrel, The Queen (two shots), Orange Skipperling, Bordered Patch, Common Buckeye.
