Another wild weekend

Last weekend we enjoyed a camping outing to Zion National Park in Utah.  And again, the wildlife did not disappoint.  On the fowl front, we got several good looks at a summer tanager (above).  We also saw a golden eagle that almost swooped into Tim and Nikki's windshield on our way in to the park.

We saw many mule dear, including the one above right next to our camper one evening, and the one below crossing the Virgin River as we hiked up above the valley floor.

We caught a tarantula in its native environs, and saw many lizzards.

And then, on our way out of the park, we caught glimpse of a group of big horn sheep on the edge of a mesa. It was a wonderful, wild weekend.
