Howdee all,
Jeff and I go to the Desert Museum most every day now that we are camped close by..
We became members…We arrive when the Museum opens at eight thirty and go on the Bird walk..we always grab our free coffee to warm us up..
Thought i would show you a few more birds..
Spotted Towhee..a pleasant surprise.
Cactus Wren..a very common bird at the museum
Gila Woodpecker..in is home..also very common here
Morning Dove…yes plenty of these here.
Isn't it lovely…nice dots.. Black throated sparrow..less common..but seen quite a bit here…
one of my favorites here.. Ferruginous Hawk at Raptor free flight Barn Owl at Raptor Free flight
And a Lilac crowned Parrot..from the Mexican Sonoran area..in captivity here at the museum.
Today Jeff and I are going for a hike to Brown Mountain..
We hear the rattlesnakes are out..
Yikes..I will be looking at the ground allot.
Don't you love the polka dotted dove. And just look at that owl!
ReplyDelete...I love that Barn Owl....another bird with a heart on his face! The Black-throated Sparrows are gorgeous--I want to see one. Love the photo of the woodpecker popping his head out of the cactus...too cute.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say "Love the shot of the Woodpecker" but then I saw the Dove pictures and loved them, then the Hawk ,then.... I love them all
ReplyDeleteOh what a nice post of so many neat birds..just love the woodpecker and his abode!! Yes, guess you should be looking down as much as you look up..don't need to be stepping close to any snakes..esp rattlers.
ReplyDeleteDawn, there is nothing wrong and everything right about you bird photos. Absolutely awesome captures. Nice to go this special place daily.
