A small herd of Mule Deer in the Tortugas foothills |
It was brutally hot when Becca and I hiked around Tortugas Mountain this morning. About a mile in to the hike we were surprised to see a small herd of Mule Deer. We have had such a prolonged drought in the desert it's really hard to understand how large mammals can survive in this arid land. That's why we have a permanently-running waterhole at the Chihuahuan Observation Center.
