Oh, if you like turning over rocks and boards to find out whats living in the area, its amazing.
I think the quote from the desert museum was something like 6,000 species of animals and invertebrates live in the Sonora desert.
I tended to pay more attention to reptiles and arachnids, but I saw something new and amazing to me every time I went out in the field.
And the hummingbirds....Many, many hummingbirds!
And these huge metallic green tarantula hawks so large you could have flown them off your wrist to hunt like a falcon.
No joke- 3 to 4 inch wingspan....They preyed on full grown tarantulas, so they had to be large.
We never saw these huge ones in town, but almost always when out shooting.
