The Tortolita Preserve was gorgeous this Easter morning. Not much color due to dry conditions but still teaming with wildlife and beautiful vistas with a half moon looking down. Enjoy the photos and video.
Happy Easter!
Mule Deer
Ran into four mule deer at early light and was able to catch them on video (below). The Tortolita Preserve is perfect for wildlife migration from the Tortolitas to the Tucson Mountains.
