We started seeing some interesting
prints while out biking in the desert near Maricopa.
The prints were Javelina and we set out to capture a few pictures with a
trail-camera.

All these desert bushes look the same
|

Looking for the camera: second day |

Heere's a nice weathered stump |
 |

Lots of rabbits out at night
They stay underground to escape the heat of the day
|

But look at the size of this one: Black tailed
Jackrabbit
|

What we were seeing were two varieties
This is a Desert Cottontail
|

Same area, same Coyote?

Active all night |

We think this is a Javelina |

Here's a good game trail through a mesquite thicket
This trail has lots of Javelina and Coyote tracks and appears well traveled
The holes are a mix of metal detector hunters and burrows,
probably rabbits.

Head and ears coming into picture
