Arizona Spring
Be Still
A broad-billed hummingbird stops its frenetic activity for just a moment in answer to my plea. Arizona is an American paradise for lovers of these birds.
Desert Flower
A single flower blooming among cactus thorns against a brilliant blue sky. Alone in the desert, it takes your breath away.
Nothing Lesser About It
A Lesser Goldfinch perched in the Coronado National Forest. The name betrays the beauty.
In the cradle ...
Arizona cardinal in the branch of an old tree - like it is cradled in the palm of a hand.
Dusky-capped Flycatcher
Outside the village of Tubac in Arizona is a clearing along the Santa Cruz River that was the first stop in my Arizona wildlife tour. I was rewarded almost right away with a sighting of this Dusky-capped Flycatcher. It was a life bird for me, but a fairly common one in the southwest and Latin America.
