Dusty Jeans & Genes - Part 26 - Fauna

Occasionally we encountered animals that didn't quite fit the overall theme of the blog post, so they are gathered here.

Dinosaur National Monument. This rabbit was so unconcerned about humans that I almost stepped on him/her.
Northern Flicker. Dinosaur National Monument.
This woodpecker is found throughout much of North America, but note the "red-shafted" feathers characteristic in the western region. In the east, the feathers have yellow shafts.
Turkey vulture sunning itself on the Sound of Silence Trail in Dinosaur National Monument.
Ground squirrels had quite a system of holes and tunnels in the Nine Mile Canyon Campground.
Four-foot long gopher snake in Mesa Verde National Park.
Western scrub jay in Pinnacles National Park.
We found this hairy ant scurrying along the trail in Pinnacles National Park.
