Courting Diamondbacks at the Den

The big boy in the background is king of this rock, seen here with one of about 6 females that he courts and mates with. I’ve seen smaller males come wandering into this area before, and it doesn’t end well for them. The last one was chased away and actually fell about 8 feet onto rocks below.
