June Birds

Hello! Here are some backyard birds:

cardinals, roadrunner, house finch, house sparrows,
ash-throated flycatcher and Gambel's quail

The pair of cardinals usually visit the feeder at dawn and dusk when it's too dark for pictures, but this time I caught them on the chair at midday.

Soaking up the Sun

Hi there! These pictures are from the morning of May 7th. After crossing the street, the roadrunner stopped, turned its back to the sun, opened its wings and ruffled its feathers allowing the warm rays to reach its skin. Some feathers caught the light just right so I could see shimmering colors on the bird's wings and tail.

A short video clip of the roadrunner sunbathing:

Have a wonderful week!
