The Elusive Kaibab Squirrel

Arizona, Desert Southwest, Humor, Photos, Wildlife

This is not the best photo of the white-tailed Kaibab Squirrel but he was playing hardball with me. This squirrel is endemic to the Kaibab National Forest and thinks he owns the place. Never stays still and when pressed, climbs up the tall Ponderosa Pines and behind the branches. I’ll try again this week to shoot(ahem photograph) him. He must think I’m paparazzi.

At least you have an idea why he’s camera shy. That bright white tail!

FYI. The 2nd image was an enhanced one of the first image using the AI editor feature here at WP which I won’t use ever again because that would be cheating.

You may remember the video post showing the fire damaged area of Kaibab National Forest from summer of 2025, Link . Here’s a flyover video from last week showing the area not damaged. The western part of the North Kaibab which is adjacent to Grand Canyon National Park.

Even though Kaibab NF sustained heavy damage from last years fires, there still is some life.

Lupine Wildflower- Now Appearing Daily

Abstract, Arizona, Desert Southwest, Flowers, Grand Canyon, National Parks, Seasons

This wildflower is known for its blue color but I like the leaves of the plant. They show an abstract form that changes shape and color throughout the summer. The word lupine means flower as a noun and “like a wolf” as an adjective.

Dragon Bravo Fire Revisited

Arizona, Desert Southwest, Drone Produced, Seasons

While Utah, Colorado and Arizona are being terrorized with many forest and brush fires this summer, I revisited the remains of the Dragon Bravo Fire at Kaibab National Forest in Arizona. The Aspens were fire damaged but still stood amongst the equally damaged Ponderosa Pines.

The Dragon Bravo fire in 2025 burned pine and aspen trees at Kaibab National Forest, adjacent to Grand Canyon Natoonal Park, Arizona.

It precedes the Grand Canyon in Northern Arizona and is also magnificent.
