We followed this guy for a while along the Center Patrol Road at Malheur Refuge this morning while he hunted. He knew we were there, of course, but was too busy finding prey to care very much as I photographed his hunt.

It’s been a beautiful three days here — this morning the temperature was 17 degrees when we got out on the refuge at dawn; with clear skies and lots of sun it hit about 45 by mid afternoon.

The turkeys are all over our woods, the orchard, the driveway — and the back porch.

I came across this baby desert tortoise — he’s about the size of a woman’s clenched fist — working his way across the desert floor near the Visitor Center at Red Rock Canyon, a wonderful place to hike just a half hour from Las Vegas.
