A word of warning, letting squirrels take food out of your hand can be dangerous, and they can carry rabies -- a squirrel bit my sister when we were kids. She was letting them take peanusts out of her hand. Best to put the food on the ground, instead of using your hands, as tempting as that is. That looks like a pregnant mama squirrel. Nice picture.
Unless this bird is molting, it looks to be sick. The feathers are in bad shape. I hope I'm wrong.
Boyce Thompson Arboretum -- one of Arizona's little treasures. Nice photo.

This picture deserves a clever caption. Wish I could think of one. Great picture. Photo contest worthy.
Ned, you have a knack for capturing wildlife like few others. Looks like you had a great trip, judging from the wonderful photos you've shared.
