I got these photos from Bill in Scottsdale, AZ - that's right, the small, quiet country town of Scottsdale. Yeah right! It's a city of almost a quarter million people, with shopping centers, business parks, and housing developments spanning the entire city limits, which are locked in between several other large cities in the Valley of the Sun. And yet, wild animals still roam there.
Bill describes this cat as "Robert Cat" since it was so big. Those are 13" blocks behind him.
This awesome roadrunner hung out for almost 30 minutes.
Javelina visiting Bill's neighbor's door looking for a late night snack.
"Elvis" the 4 foot king snake keeps the rattlers in check.
This bobcat looks like he's about to escape the desert heat with a quick swim!
But instead he decides to just lounge in shade.
For those of us who live in rural areas, we don't think much of seeing deer, coyotes, or javelina in the middle of town. In fact, we expect it, and in part it's why we live where we live. But for those of you in larger cities, don't think that the wild animals aren't there! They've adapted to their environment, so keep your eyes open and your camera handy!
Do you have some awesome photos of wildlife in urban areas? Send them to me and I'll post them up! Glen@IndependenceTraining.com
Happy Hunting!
