Great birds shots, most of the birds are different from what we see. Until last week I would have said the grosbeak doesn't hang around here so maybe some of the others are just shy.
I heart Alicia's comment. When I first moved here in about 350 BC, there were roadrunners that went through the back yard of the house that I lived in then quite often. They would perch onto the back fence. Mesa was smaller then and the desert was closer. Now it's so rare a scene that I have to watch the roadrunner cartoons to get my fix. They are just too cute.
Great bird shots....just saw the pteradactl orange/red/grey cardinal looking one yesterday and wondered what it was...now I know!!! It sat right in front of me during lunch time and I thought....you're a pretty looking bird.
Hi Parsnip, the only bird pic from my yard is the black-headed grosbeak. The mallard was standing on top of Sabino Dam. I agree, cactus wrens are the most fun to watch. :)
oh, you're so lucky to have all these collections, really pays to be out. love all of them, especially the flycatcher and the Pyrrhuloxia, they are amazing.

What? No Roadrunner? I loved seeing Roadrunners when I was a child growing up in AZ.
But regardless, these are great pictures and I miss seeing cactus and blue skies :-D

You get so many great bird shots. Are they from your yard ? a Mallard ?
I see many of the same birds and I love the crazy antics of the Cactus Wren they are the clowns of the bird world.
Lovely post today.

Hi Diane, I love seeing the birds in your area.. I've never seen a Black-headed Grosbeak before. We have the Rose-breasted ones here.
That Flycatcher is a pretty bird. AND--I laugh because there are Cardinals EVERYWHERE --all over the country....
Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Betsy
Oh you should make a book. I'd buy it! :-)
Some of those birds have such pretty colours. I have finally seen my first mockingbird thanks to you.
the best bird shots ever!
what a great set of shots!
those birds are so cute, especially the cardinal.
fabulous pictures!
That Flycatcher! Such brilliant desert birds - your backdrops are wonderful, too. Still snowing here...
Oh Diane, you do have a great collection of birds in your area. Your photos are just fantastic!
I was so captivated by the Pyrrhuloxia -- I had to google to find out more...so is that one you photographed just a youngster? Gorgeous!
Hi Darla, the Pyrrhuloxia does look like a youngster to me. :)
