Paddle-tailed Darner - we believe this to be the species, waiting for confirmation. If so it will be our first sighting which is exciting. Lucky to have it hover in place, they never perch!

🪶Ladder-backed Woodpecker - from my trip to AZ a few months ago. We don’t get these here in the PNW so this was a real treat! They are non-migratory, permanent residents of the US southwest and Mexico.

🪶White-faced Ibis - got these shots down in Cottonwood, AZ a couple of months ago. A flock flew in and circled probably 30 times before finally deciding to land. Lots of chances to snap photos! Cool birds!

🪶Northern Flicker - eyeing some water down below just before sunset. These birds are fascinating to watch, as they’re very cautious when eating, pausing frequently to scan the skies for trouble (i.e., raptors).
