Any #turtle and #tortoise experts out there? Geenish-yellow coloration, Sonoran Desert, maybe 6'. Saw this softball-sized cutie yesterday. It is definitely NOT a desert tortoise, but I don't know what it is? Help me solve the mystery! Sandy 🐾 Jessica Moreno (she/her)

The things we see on #cameratrap . Little #cottontail and desert #woodrat ( #packrat ) have an encounter! Best viewed full screen & watch till the end :-).

Such soothing sounds and sights for a Sunday. Turtle yoga, guys. Love it!

#Reader friends: please pick Honey as CBS News's next book club pick. Voting ends today at 6 PM !

Ha! I was trying to zoom in on the ornate tree #lizard that had escaped my camera only to realize, 'Wait, that's not where it went.' Yes, there were TWO. Do you see them?

We have two mating pairs of #roadrunners . Captured some fascinating territorial vocalizations between two adults from different pairs. (Since they are territorial, I'm shocked they have gotten along as well as they have...for a year-plus). 🔊 up. #cameratrap

Readers: Victor Lodato's newest book, Honey, is in the running as a top three pick for CBS News Book Club. His writing is gorgeous & this book has one of THE most memorable characters you'll ever meet. #books

Some of the awesome things I'm seeing in the desert: ornate tree #lizard , rufous #hummingbird , adorable baby #cottontail .

It's #Felid Friday! Niño the bobcat isn't a good mouser... yet. Hunting foibles caught on #cameratrap . Best viewed full screen (Look at that moon!). 🔊 up

Please take time to watch. Exceptionally well done & spot-on re: the truth of 'boom and bust,' and who, in the end, benefits. Hint: it's not the communities or the Earth... It is, in fact, foreign companies stealing US resources. Our mts face same fate. youtu.be/PRgAA1HHIEQ?si…

We only see these #wildflowers during good spring-rain years (which is to say I've seen them maybe 4 times in 20 years). Whoop! The high-90s temps are making them droop, but they're hanging on. #DesertLarkspur

Will the scaredy #coyote do it? Will it drink from the scary water thing? #cameratrap

Whooo do we have here? Yay - mama great-horned #owl has at least one #owl et. My guess is there is at least one more, maybe two, behind her. Cave is so deep I never got to see them at tiny fuzz-ball stage.

Look behind the Wild Water container to the right. You just might see a flicking tail (view full screen & 🔊 up)!

Niño the young, male #bobcat visited before dusk. This 'Oh,wow - a bird!!' reaction seems indicative of young cat behavior. #cameratrap

Melissa Crytzer Fry Melissa, did you see this rescue?

Love, love, love!

Whoop! Haven't seen one of these guys in years. A zone-tailed #hawk soaring around with the turkey vultures. They LOOK similar in flight. It has been suggested the ZT mimics the vulture, using its similarity to sneak up on prey that would not hide from vultures. (Zoom maxed out).

We're lucky to have both the light pink (hi, little jumping #spider ) and magenta hedgehog #cacti on our property. So gorgeous. Every day should be #EarthDay .

Will the mule #deer do it? Will they brave the scary water thing... they KNOW there's water in it. #cameratrap
