For the Birds!

 

I decided to end the month of September with one of my favorite photographic subjects....the birds.  I do enjoy watching them and learning their different characteristics.  Above is a cactus wren who visited me while I sat a table at the Desert Botanical Garden.

This is a gila woodpecker who appears to be balanced atop the fruit of a prickly pear cactus.  I don't know who that is peeking into the frame down in the lower right corner.  How did he sneak into the shot?  

This cute little goldfinch had a firm grip on the fencing around some plants.  Goldfinches are pretty little birds.

This last one is a white-winged dove sitting on top of a very thorny cactus.  Don't you love their pretty blue eye-shadow?

Beautiful photos. I think we get all these birds in my local desert, although not sure about the white-winged dove. Doves are common, but the blue around the eye doesn't look familiar.
