This four and a half mile out and back was truly inspirational. Every morning I saw something different, a solitary northern harrier hunting low over the grasses, a pair of ravens, a pair of coyotes, javelina, a herd of pronghorn, nighthawks, loggerhead shrikes, dozens of different grass species, rattlesnakes, king snakes, box turtles, red velvet mites just to name a few.
