Sabino Canyon is a natural desert oasis located in Tucson’s Coronado National Forest and is home to spectacular desert landscapes and abundant wildlife. During the winter and summer rainy seasons, pools of water form in rocky outcroppings that wind up among hillsides resplendent with palo verde trees, cholla and prickly pear cactus and graceful groves of ocotillo.

Nice spotting! In the first spotting, the way its ears are it almost looks like a kangaroo! ;)
No worries, happens to us all!
Oops
This is a white-tailed deer, you can see how big the tail is in the 4th phtoto, mule deer have a skinny tail. It also doesn't have large enough ears to be a mule deer
