A nice pictograph I came across in canyon country yesterday. Probably ~800 years old. Actually saw some green pictographs as well! Very rare, but too faded for posting here. I might see if I can enhance them when I get back to my home computer.

A prehistoric dark red pictograph on lighter red sandstone. It's an anthropomorph. The body is triangular shaped. The arms hang down from wide shoulders with hands spread wide. At the end of long stick like legs are bird like looking feet. The head is hard to see but it is kind of like a triangle with a mob of hair on top.

It looks like partly human and partly a bird. I would love to see these in person, they are so interesting.

@ambivalena Ya, the area I'm in now has lots of anthropomorphs with duck looking heads.
