He's doesn't seem too concerned

with your presence.
What's your secret? Just kidding about the question. I'm sure you can be light and quiet on your feet.
Happy hiking,
Marc

Re: He's doesn't seem too concerned

Hello Marc and thank you for the comment. I actually managed to sneak up on her while she was relaxing on the big boulder. She was stunned and frightened but later we became friends. Here's more of the story under another picture of her that I had posted: http://www.summitpost.org/image/270371/261767/wildlife-of-southern-nevada.html
Cheers!
