The gorgeous male Phainopepla in a Palo Verde tree after much needed rain, southern Arizona. #birds #arizonabirds
Black bird with red eye sitting with its back towards the camera, looking to the right. It’s in a tree with very thin green branches and tiny leaves that look like dots against a foggy sky.

The Great Horned Owl returned to the saguaro this evening. You can see the bright red fruit this ancient cactus produces in summer. Southeastern #Arizona #birds #owls #saguaros

This Great Horned Owl owns the patch of desert behind our house. It also has fledglings who are learning to hunt. Rodents, bunnies, beware. 😎 Southern Arizona. #birds #owls #arizonabirds

Beautiful weather in southern Arizona these days. The #birds love the birdbath. A male Costa’s #hummingbird, an Abert’s Towhee, 3 Cactus Wrens, and a brave little Lesser Goldfinch shares space with a Gila #woodpecker. #azbirds

The local Harris’s hawk family flew in to hunt recently. The neighbor’s chimney provides a good observation post. Southern Arizona . #birds #azbirds
Three large brown hawks with red-orangish shoulders and yellow beaks, legs and feet stand on the chimney of a house. A large, dark brown hawk with pale yellow legs stands on a gray-brown branch, its yellow beak and dark eyes pointing to the left. Three of its front toes and talons on each foot are visible on the branch. The bird’s distinctive white tail feathers are visible behind the legs. Green desert foliage in the background.
