Canyon Day

We took a little jaunt into Palo Duro Canyon today. While there, we were going to start getting some shots for project we're working on for the TV station Shelley works at. Besides scenic views of the canyon, we managed to get a small variety of the flora and fauna there. Here are some samples:

I think this is an Ash-Throated Flycatcher.

Bicyclists were everywhere in the canyon today, but most of them were in a bike race.

"The Lighthouse" is the iconic structure of the canyon. I took this from the scenic overlook at the visitor's center. The lighthouse is about 3 miles away - as the crow flies.

This deer let me get quite a few shots before she left - and almost ran over Shelley in the process.

Saw a few varieties of butterflies/moths, but this is the only one I was able to get.
