Nice pics Rich, how was it at night? still cooling off fast? We were headed down this weekend but the dog is back in the hospital so...maybe later
Thanks for sharing the "locals"!

yeah, it was very warm. Sunday night at 2200 hrs. the ambient was still 95F. Sure hope your dog recovers OK!

Rich

I love the "Grismeresque" technique of including some of the habitat in the background.

Glad to see your still around!

Rich, thoes shots are great, are you the same Rich G. that used to be on the old forums in the late 90s and early 2000?

back when they re-did the forums I had some trouble registering and became Rich G.cascabel.

Rich, do you know a guy named Buzz? I believe that you and i met in Texas in 2001 i had just moved there and we were both at Buzz's place.

the old Santa impersonator is one of my bestest friends . Is this Clark? (if not forgive me, I meet so many people at Buzz's and that year we had a big birthday party for Kathy after we returned from Chihuahua and I met a BUNCH of people,lol)

This is Clark, How have you been ? I was there for Kathy's birthday party, we had a great time, Iam going back to Ft. Davis 1'st week of June to see Buzz and Kathy and to do a little hunting, Glad to hear from you. Clark

glad to see your still around. Got to thinkin' about it and I actually met you guys the year before that when you were just visiting. Big Eric was there at the same time. Hope you have good luck there. Give Kathy a hug and the old man a kick for me

Will do. Good to hear from you.

Didn't see that one over at the other place. Those shots all cam out great. Well worth the trip as always.

but I posted it under a string of Bill's lep photos and I think it was kinda lost. Was definately a fun trip,we gotta revisit it all after the monsoon arrives

Guess it got burried in Bill's stream of a million threads. I like it.

A definate hell yeah on moonson's. Tri-color time.

the one with the tweaked nose. My cuz just found a nice large specimen of the other species (canum) in the Ritas.

Nice work RL

Rich, I have to agree with the others those are great photos. I would like to make a trip down there to see those guys in person, maybe next year. Although I am going to Australia next year. Don't know if I can get in two trips. Thanks for the post, Dean

an Australia trip sound fun! On my to do list for the future also. Can't wait to see the pics.

Rich

Hey Rich,

Have you GPS'ed the Oxybelis sightings you and Rich have made? We have been down there and are doing that. Nine or so since last fall. Do you have my email addy?

Nice photos too. Hope all is well. Hugh

were you in the dragoons? Looks like it or the foothills of the chiracahuas maybe.
