ReplyDeletePieknie wygladają ptaki na kaktusach i suseł, ale czarnego bez nóg się boję. Pozdrawiam.

Beautiful photographs, fantastic images of the nature, I am pleased that you are sharing with us such wonderful images :) Greetings
ReplyDeleteWonderful!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo many birds love to stay at a desert.
ReplyDeleteYou capture such interesting action shots, like the mama bird feeding the baby a berry, and the ground squirrel chewing on his lunch. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteLove those bird pictures...
ReplyDeleteLovely Coachwhip, the only one I have seen in my yard was being chased by a Thrasher and beating a very hasty retreat so I never got a photo!
ReplyDeleteGreat Bobcat shot too :)
