Went for a hike yesterday with part of the family, we were going to go fishing but the wind has been howling the last few days.
We went to a place called Birch Creek, it's in the middle of nowhere but only about an hour from home.
It's a small canyon with some side canyons, but pretty family friendly for hiking and climbing around.

Another blast from the past.......During a several year long drought, this very poor Nilgai bull cautiously approached to see what that rabbit was so distressed about.

Meet George. Wife came in wide eyed and said, "There's a Texas Spiney Swift in the back yard this long, indicating 3' long. (Longest Spiney Swift I've ever seen lacked a couple of inches being a foot long.) I was surprised to find George. I'm sure he was a pet that escaped, sure not native down here.
He lived in an ash tree above the BBQ pit for a few weeks and would come down to eat scraps of veggies...almost out of our hand, but not quite. Hung around until the grandkids visited and got a little too pushy trying to force feed him so he moved on.

Black spiny tailed iguana maybe?
 
Was looking for the only picture I have of a huge spiney swift that I couldn't get close to because it was on the wrong side of the fence. I guessed him to be very close to a foot long. Anyway, found this picture of a pair of young badgers taken about the same time.
