As in my prior couple post, these are from the Chihuahuan Grasslands - which hold an amazing diversity of wildlife - likely more than any other place in North America when you include the surrounding mountain habitat. I am working to quantify that statement with an ongoing species list project, which takes in both large and small mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians.

Thanks for looking....comments welcome!

Thank you Ashley - I spend many months of the year photographing the wildlife there and it's quite a privilege.

Many thanks codroy, that shot was taken when smoke rolled in from a distant forest fire - which made for some unbelievable sunsets.

Love that snake in #2 slot. Actually, no, these things freak me out, and that photo just brings it too much to life

The peccary closeup is pretty darn cool as well

A most excellent set!! The dove and Swainson's are my picks of this strong group. Nice variety!

What an amazing and varied set, Jim -- you must be very at home there. (I hope so, because you must spend a lot of hours there!)
