The wildlife photos here are of "wild animals" in the truest sense. Unless otherwise noted, these creatures are not in captivity of any kind. The wildlife preserves we like to frequent do not allow people to feed the animals. This makes for interesting challenges for photographing these creatures. We've always felt that coaxing an animal closer using food as a bait was cheating anyway, so the restrictions at the wildlife preserves suit us just fine.

Please visit each gallery at the left, and explore what the American Southwest can offer to those with a keen eye, a sense of wonder and curiosity.

The photos should be correctly labeled with the names of the animal, insect, plant, etc. Most identifications have been made using the National Audubon Society, National Geographic, and Smithsonian handbooks and field guides. However, we are NOT experts! We do appreciate kindly worded corrections/suggestions that can be substantiated.
