Gila Monster in Portal (Photos by Narca)
Gila Monsters have been uncommonly common this season! This is the fourth for me: two in Guadalupe Canyon, and two here, close to Portal. Quite a treat!

About Me
- Narca Moore-Craig
- I live with my husband Alan Craig in a round stone house, in the shadow of Arizona’s Chiricahua Mountains. We watch the seasons cycle, watch the comings and goings of hummingbirds and of marauding Javelinas, and treasure the rich hours spent with friends in the Portal-Rodeo community. Being home is good… but so is being footloose in the wide, wild world, and this blog will focus mostly on roaming the wild areas of this marvelous earth!

Like something out of the deep past, Gila Monsters just look cool. Perhaps it is related to the B movies of the 1950's and 60's where lizards were used as dinosaurs. In any event the are beautiful reptiles to see.
ReplyDeleteI have seen the Gila Monster in the Peloncillo Mountains so great they are in the Chiricahua Mountains as well!
