Saguaros must be a great host to all these birds.

And it is always busy to a host.

I am amazed by all the wonderful birds this year. I don't feed the birds, to many ground critters to attack my home but my fountain is always on for some water.
The last photo is quite spectacular. Looks like a the bird is trying to do a triple flip with 2 1/2 turns.

cheers, parsnip

You have so many beautiful birds in the desert. I just love how they just sat on top of the cactus tree like that.

Great photos. The saguaro fruit 'mouths' are a bit scary though! ;-)

The pyrrhuloxia: my favorite! I don't think I saw any...

Annie Jeffries said...

So pretty. I'm amazed by the bird variety the desert is home to.

That's a really pretty cactus. Oh, and the birds are nice, too. :-)

Love all your birds on Saguaros - you wonder how they can avoid the thorns!

Carole said...

Great job capturing all these saguaro visitors! Everybody loves the fruit, and who can blame them?!

The verdin is my favorite! I wish I could see one of the pyrrhuloxia...wish I could pronounce it too. :)

Hugs,
Betsy
