During our recent trip to Las Vegas, my wife booked us on a trip to the west rim of the Grand Canyon. It was absolutely amazing.
The west rim is on land owned by the Hualapai Tribe, part of their reservation. It’s definitely less crowded that other parts of the Grand Canyon, which made the trip even more special.
And, of course, I was able to photograph some new birds: Ravens (which are everywhere around the canyon) and a Rock Wren.

Imagine my surprise as I came around a corner and there was the bobcat sitting on the side of the road – like it was waiting for me to take its picture.
I took advantage of the time change to visit Orlando Wetlands before work on Monday, enjoying a spectacular cool morning and coming across two new-to-me birds there.
