One thing you learn as a photographer turned birder is that just because you can see and follow a bird with your binoculars or see it through a scope at 65x magnification, doesn't mean you'll get a good photo of it, if you even get one at all. That being said, I did get some nice photographs of some of the Lifers in Arizona this week, along with photos of birds I failed to photograph last year. I also took some nice photos of the scenery too, along with birds that were new for the year or new for my Arizona Life List.
Juniper Titmouse: 612
Mountain Chickadee: 613
Burrowing Owl:
Say's Phoebe:
Some lovely scenery at the end of a great day of birding:
Rosy-faced Lovebird: 617
A very thirsty Heron lost in the dessert:
My first Arizona Green-tailed Towhee,(I'd seen a vagrent in Florida in 2012):
The handsome Lewis's Woodpecker: 614,(my new favorite bird)
Mountain Plover: 615
Rufous-capped Sparrow:
And Finally, the Code 5 Sinaola Wren: 616,(alas, not great photos)
