Wildlife seen on our vacation - August 2009
We saw this coyote (or several similar coyotes) several times along the main road at Mesa Verde.
Many deer hung out near our campsite at Mesa Verde. If you look close here you can see a doe and two fawns.
Road runner at Dead Horse Ranch State Park near Cottonwood, AZ. Tim saw a tarantula at this campground one night, and there were many quail (so cute) running around the campground too. Poor Little Critter (ds2) got eaten alive by "no see 'ems". They bit the rest of us, but this little guy got tiny blisters where they got him that looked a lot like chicken pox! (He reacts big to mosquito bites too).
The three girls completed Junior Ranger Programs at Mesa Verde and Dead Horse Ranch State Park.
