Shortly after this the hawk tried to catch one of the finches, without success. The bit of rain we had last night has brought flocks of finches to the wash.

The lizards were out in plenty. I saw a Desert Spiny Lizard, a Sonoran Spotted Whiptail (Aspidoscelis flagellicanda), and a Zebra-tailed Lizard (Callisaurus draconoides). The whiptail is the same one I thought was a Tiger Whiptail the other day, I think.
