We enjoyed watching the wildlife on our trip. Click on the images to enlarge them.
At breakfast in Sedona, an acorn woodpecker checked us out.

It was also breakfast time for the lesser goldfinches.

Another resident of the Canyon Wren Bed and Breakfast is Frankie, a red-eared slider turtle. She is with turtlets, but the proprietors didn't know how far along she is.

When we hiked in Sedona, we saw a turtle basking on a rock in Oak Creek.

This was as close as we got to a mountain lion at the Grand Canyon.
This cliff chipmunk was on Rim Trail.

One of the highlights of the whole trip was seeing two California condors gliding above us. If you enlarge the [blurry] image, you can see the tags on their left wings.

Turtles! Lucky you!
CONDORS! Luckier you!!!
Thanks.
Oh, yes, it was such a thrill to see the Condors riding the thermals. When we were there, they came so close that we could hear the wind through their wings! Thrilling!
Beautfiul birds, all!
And I loved the lizard pix, too! Good job! Beautiful!
Thanks for posting all your pix.
