Desert Wildlife

Desert Wildlife 

I live in the desert. It's hot, dry, and always sunny. It's known for scorpions and prickly cactus. But it's also known for some pretty cool animals and birds...

Javalina

Gambel 's Quail

Lately, I've been taking notice,
​and getting inspired by the visitors in my backyard...

Mourning Dove

Desert Cottontail

And with a little color...

​I'm sharing their personalities on paper. 

Round tailed ground squirrel

Blue Bunny (Desert Cottontail)

The Great Hare (Jackrabbit)

Cactus Wren

Coyote

Roadrunner

From coyotes to roadrunners, and the curious cottontail I've named Cosmo, Arizona is far from a dry, desolate desert filled with things that hurt you... 

Although, we do have rattlesnakes... ​

I'm excited to see and share where this collection goes... and looking forward to who stops by next!
