Desert Tortoise sightings are not common in Arizona. They are very cryptic and on the decline. This one was sighted near a cache and small housing development surrounded by the Sonoran desert southwest of Tucson.
Keep alert while driving as they can be hard to spot on the pavement.

Describe what happened. Example
"Mother Blanding had made her nest between the goldenrod and bluestem outside my window late last June.
By chance we were sitting on the porch when we noticed little blandings in the same location we had seen the mother take 2 months earlier."
