Another first, a Cactus Wren (well I hope it is a Cactus Wren), it looks like a wren eh, and every time I saw one on
the trip it was either on or very close to a cactus

Amazing symmetry on the back feathers. He's (or she) has perfectly folded them down for you Ed

Seriously nice shot, Robert. Amazing how those cactus wrens can avoid the thorns when they're moving so quickly over them.

Outstanding shot, Shalu. The sharpness is really nice.
I can't believe that I missed this entire page of great images. I'm getting careless...it comes with old age.

This lazy Peregrine Falcon I watched sitting in the tree for 90 minutes hoping for it to take flight so I could get a launch shot. I went back to my car had a cup of tea and a biscuit came back and he was still in the same place. I waited for another 30 minutes, still no movement. I then went off for an hour to see if I could find more birds then had another cup of tea. Checked out the falcon still there. After 4 hours I gave up, the bird had more patience than me so I went home and had tea.
