    Mary talks about how the phainopepla helps to reseed the desert with its droppings. I've never seen a photo of one before. I love the picture of the little cactus wren on the saguaro skeleton - I enlarged it to get a better view.

    I just love the cactus wrens. They are the most fascinating acrobatic birds ever. They make me laugh.
    Fabulous photos.

    cheers, parsnip

    And we get to have them year-round! I wish I would see a phainopepla someday...

    Hey, I think it's a Curved-bill Thrasher that visits my neighbor's chimney most mornings… ;-) Love the distinctive red eye set in the glossy black feathers…and a ways back I LOVE that photo of the butterfly on the Bird of Paradise…!

    I'll bet the wren sang you a pretty song. Great bird shots!
