I'm actually a lazy hiker and wildlife photographer. If I don't find what I'm looking for (sometimes, I don't know what that is), then I'll leave. I look for stuff in plain view, and generally on the trail, and never take more than 5 minutes photographing an animal. I'm usually done in a minute or less. I use the auto setting on the camera, so most of my good photos are because I have a decent camera. Also, I tend to return to the same areas, but you all probably figured that out.

Anyway, today's hike was cool. I saw my 8th coyote, but I didn't have correct lens to photograph it. I saw 2 kingsnakes and a few lizards, one was a desert iguana, but it was too fast to photograph. I'm not sure what's up with the 5 kingsnake sighting this month, but I'm diggin' it. I don't consider the east valley a hot spot for kingsnakes, but maybe I'm wrong. It's odd that certain years have certain species that are more prevalent than other years. I think I'm done surveying Jacob's Trail for now. I'll probably hit Goldfield Oven Loop this week (a HAZ favorite) to see what critters I've been missing.

Snake count is at 86 :)
