    I've been away from Tucson long enough now to appreciate the spectacular beauty in that first photo. :) Blessings!

    Diane, I don't believe all the birds you're seeing! Thank you for this bit of desert warmth. It's bitter cold here.

    Up until yesterday, our skies were as blue as yours. Glad to see the bunnies are still out and about.

    Pretty. I've never seen a Black-throated Sparrow or a Western Bluebird, sure would like to.

    Hello,

    Beautiful photos. I have not seen many of these birds. It is an education for me. Every photo is a visual delight.

    Best wishes

    I love how blue your skies are! I miss that color!

    Is the desert blooming yet? The family that I nanny for is vacation in Phoenix right now and viewed the desert from a hot air balloon. That sounds beautiful, doesn't it?

    Hi Marcie, I imagine a balloon ride over the desert would be amazing this of year, some flowers, especially yellow ones are blooming!
