I know that they are still around. I see road runners almost daily. Horny toads are still around in fair numbers, but the quail and jack rabbits have almost disappeared from SW Oklahoma. I grew up hunting both, and neither was hard to find. The last jack rabbit that I saw around here was about two years, and I only saw one. Every now and then I will see a small covey of quail, but it’s definitely not like it used to be 20 or 30 years ago. I also never saw hogs, and they are everywhere now. It’s probably a combination of different things for the decline (pesticides, not enough prairie grass, predators, etc), but I’d like to see them return in better numbers.

We've got zero hogs, lot's of prairie/pasture, lot's of ag, lot's of ag chemical usage as well.

There are a couple jackrabbits over here on Wolf road near me. I see them in the early morning usually but that's it. It's been since fall since I saw one of them. Hopefully the owls and coyotes haven't finished them off.

Colorado's twin sisters peaks. Looks like one sister with a nice set from my perspective.

I still see roadrunner fairly frequently (Garfield County), but I honestly do not recall the last time I saw a horny toad. It's been ages. Quail ... once in a great while.

Here's an interesting pic of a roadrunner on the window sill outside peering in at me.

Saw this tiny little hitchhiker on one of my goats... He was so small I could barely get a picture.

Grass is just a gateway foliage for a Honda. Just love that mower. Usually have my boy run it, but wanted to let it prove it can mulch plant/brush clippings.
