Ash-Throated Flycatcher and Gambel's Quail

The feast of saguaro fruit has brought all sorts of birds to the table.

Wickenburg's Old Town

The boardwalk is concrete these days and the dirt road is blacktop now, but the flavor is still there...

Gila Hanging from the feeder

I've been trying to get this picture for a very long time and it finally worked out. I shot this through our front window because I can't get the bird to hang around (pun intended) if I try to get outside and take it. The bird also flips (pun intended) and gets on the perch and then drinks sideways from a hole around the rim from where it is, so these upsidedown ones are hard to catch.

I'm pretty happy with this in case you can't tell... :D

US-93 over the Black Canyon

This was taken from the top of Hoover Dam looking west. As I understand it, there will be a walkway out to the middle of the bridge, which will be about a thousand feet above the river and offer a spectacular view of the dam.

Saguaro and Flicker

I think this is a Gilded Flicker...

Boojum sunset

This was at the Desert Botanical Garden.

Boojum, cactus and glass

Butterfly and goldfish

The fish kept trying to get to the butterfly, which appeared not to notice at all.
