Some Critters Around my House

I was on a walk today and came across this Horned Desert Lizard (Horny Toad) and I realized that we really do have some interesting critters around here. So here are some pictures of the mundane as well as the interesting animals around our home.

have to say this pic looks the best
just the motion of the wings caught on camera

Wow, BH, cool pics. You practically live in a wildlife refuge!

I have squirrels too, but other than that it's mainly rats and pigeons.

Thanks. What's cool is that aside from the Horned Lizard, every one of those pics was taken from INSIDE the house!

Theres no wildlife where I live except pigeons and squashed hedgehogs :'( I want to move to the country, but these days you have to be stinking rich to move out to the country... All the toffs get the nice digs with the clean living and I'm stuck in my crummy house in the middle of a town thats getting more and more built up thanks to Gordon Brown GRRR!

It must be so beautiful where you live, im truley jelous!

Not only a singer, but a wildlife photographer as well. Too totally cool. I've always loved roadrunners (beep, beep).

There used to be JackRabbits where I lived as a child. My friends and I actually thought we could run and catch them.


Hah! Kids!
