- A real life bald eagle free in the wild
- Red-tailed hawks
- Golden eagle (at least 80% sure it was one)
- Unidentified hawks

- Misc small field birds
- Pack rat
- Field mouse
- Lizard of some kind

- Lots of deer (including two babies and a couple bucks)
- Cows
- Horses
- A moose (okay I didn't see it but most others did)

- Coyotes (who also ruined shots by howling sometimes)
- Something resembling a groundhog
...aaaand I think that's it (not including insects, obv)

(Remember what I said about being in the middle of nowhere with no cell phone service?)

omg

this is so cute

are bald eagles really that rare down there? :c

They're endangered and mostly found in zoos and such. idk. First time anyone on the crew had ever seen one in the wild? But I also don't spend much time in the desert usually.

I knew they were endangered, but I thought they'd started to recover

it's odd, we see them so often up here. there's a mated pair on my parent's farm even.

Oh, a jackrabbit too.

And yeah, they're recovering. There are probably more in the Wyoming area, or southern Utah. Our climate is so ridiculously diverse.

Old bird watcher adage: all hawks are red-tails until proven otherwise.

(Red-tails are super common and depending on their life stage, can be mistaken for others.)

Hahaha. I only knew because one of the makeup girls is a bird watcher person.
