I guess just sleeping in the middle of the canyon! It let me get really close to get pics and didn’t wake up. I said “hello” and it didn’t wake up or move. Hopefully it wasn’t dead. But I’ve come across them before sleeping on the ground during the day. They seem like pretty hard sleepers.

First kit fox I’ve ever got on my wildlife cam! Location obscured because this is taken outside my house - no food outside or anything. Just a kit fox cruising around! In recent years, they have been known to take people’s shoes that are out by their front doors and stuff in my neighborhood😂Haven’t heard of any stolen shoes this season. Maybe in the campgrounds though from the coyotes, which like to do that too, haha

I saw a red-tailed hawk so I stopped to take a picture. Then I began seeing movement below the hawk and it was this badger! I don’t think they were interacting, the hawk flew away and the badger must have ducked back into a hole because I didn’t see it anymore. My first (alive) badger I’ve seen and taken a photo of!!! 65 degrees at 3:19pm. Red-tailed hawk: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/70020663

May 17th, 2020. 6:20pm, 82 degrees and breezy. My friend Caroline put her observation too so there may be 2 ID’s for this one, same date. Looks like on the back of the shell a possible injury that healed? The tortoise never hunched up in its shell, it was never scared. It was very active. My first live tortoise in Death Valley. Really special to see. Location slightly obscured to protect this tortoise.
