Another cool but sunny day. It's against the law to feed wildlife here in Tucson (with the exception of birds), so I don't feed the squirrels. The yard is fenced, and I throw seed over the fence twice a day for quail that don't like to come into the yard. This rock squirrel sometimes manages to get his share. I took this picture as he stood on his hind legs among some prickly pear cactus, looking alert and beautiful.
