Waterfowl flying in to the Quitobaquito Pond in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Arizona. This is one of the only year-round water resources in this Sonoran Desert region. Border wall contractors are expected to pump hundreds of thousands of gallons of water from this fragile aquifer every day to mix cement and spray dusty roads. USA

Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia)Observer
shanedoyleDescription
I saw these eggs on a hike in Sedona, Arizona. We were at an elevation of roughly 4200 feet. There was a natural cave-like overhang on the rock face. At the very back, there was an opening, roughly 10" high by about 16" wide, that went an indeterminate distance into the rock face. A few inches into that space, I saw these eggs. The biggest in the picture were about the size of small chicken eggs.

I was very surprised to see a black colored White-tailed Deer fawn this evening behind my house. I have seen some very dark White-tailed Deer in this area in the past:
http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/816864
but not one like this. These are just quick shots, taken against the light and as the deer were rapidly moving away, but this black fawn can be seen in company with normally colored fawns. I will be trying to get more and better shots in the next few days.
