Ruby Tuesday - Birds
These are some of the birds with the color red observed recently in this area. House finches are commonly found in the garden while the other two are more often seen while walking in the desert. These are all male birds. Pyrrhuloxias resemble female cardinals don't they?

These are beautiful birds, Diane! The first photo is so artistic looking, and the purple cactus in the second one is amazing!
Beautiful red.
Yes, the Pyrrhuloxias resemble female cardinals.
Pyrrhuloxia - bird with an attitude. I have a few Cardinals around here and am very happy about that.
You may be interested to know that the Cardinal and Pyrrhuloxia belong to the same genus. The Cardinal's Latin name is Cardinalis cardinalis; the Pyrrhuloxia's is Cardinalis sinuatus.
Oh...those are stunning red birds. Great shots. We don't see such colorful birds here in the San Fran suburbs...just a bunch of crows!
These are so cute. I am never lucky to find birds in my neighborhood, let alone in the gardens here.
What beautiful birds! I need to open my eyes more for out feathered friends! You captured them beautifully!
Love them all but the House Finch is adorable. You have provided me with MORE inspiration.
There are so many birds around your area and they are all lovely and colorful! Seeing all really makes me miss home, all the birds we breed.
Have a great day Diane!!
What a nice bunch! Such colors!
Beautiful shots of teh all the birds, I've never seen the Pyrrhuloxia. It is a pretty bird.
Hi Diane, Love your bird pictures. That 2nd one is new to me. How pretty!!!!
Bet your Cardinals are happier out there than ours here --in the cold and snow.
Hugs,
Betsy
These birds are so colorful and a joy to see.
You just helped identify a bird I saw at our feeder here in Indiana a few days ago, the house finch.
We have had the good fortune to see Pyrrhuloxia on occasion in our Arizona back yard. It's always nice to see that spot of red. =)
Oh, these are fantastic and I love the second one, he is so unique and adorable. A creative bundle of feathers :D
Beautiful, beautiful birds! I've never seen this one before.
very pretty birds. My in the winter their colors stand out.Nice shots.
My Ruby link for you
Beautiful, beautiful photos.
Beautiful birds. Pyrrhuloxia is new to me, he's cute.
I don't understand why we don't have Cardinals in California if you have them in Tucson, not fair!
Wow! Really inspiring shots of the lovely birds.
I wish to see them in Malaysia.
Happy New Year to you and your family!
Beautiful birds. I am always amazed by how colourful some of them are.
Lovely - nice photos. I love those spiky plants in the 2nd pic too.

Love seeing these birds in the wonderful desert vegetation.
