Wonderful capture of this cool looking Pileated Woodpecker, Steve! Are they an unusual bird in your area?

Thank you, Mike! They're not unusual to hear and see (from a bit of a distance) but getting a good photo op is another matter.

My first Yellow-Billed Cuckoo which I was fortunate enough to photograph today. This guy caught a large stick insect which are really hard to find so that was icing on the cake for me.

Two great shots and a bonus! I'm jealous.

Thanks for the comment. It was a slow day for migrating birds in this area but I was fortunate to com across this Cuckoo which really made my trek worth my day.

What a cool looking shot, Paul. It kinda looks like the wood ducks may want to look for a new residence.

thanks Mike for your encouraging comments. They are always valued :-)

Brown Falcon is one of the most widespread birds in Australia

This image is an especially attractive one of the Brown Falcon, Richard! The sharp subject against the blurred background, sets the falcon off beautifully.

Parakeet...I sometimes post photographs of wild Rosy-faced Lovebirds, but I found this "wild" Parakeet mixing in with a flock of the Lovebirds. I'm guessing that it is someone's pet or a runaway from a bird cage...not exactly a native species to the Sonoran Desert. :-D

Great shot of this little fellow, Tom. I agree with your runaway theory. This bird is going to have to wise up in a hurry, to the dangers of the wild, before some Cooper's Hawk spies this brightly colored potential meal.

Stunning image, Dave! You definitely get a 5 star rating on this shot!

Bay-breasted Warbler, Fall Migration. I've added the second shot because it shows what I thought to be interesting back streaking.

Both these shots are beautifully done, Steve! You truly brought them to life on the screen. The second photo really shows off the back streaking quite nicely.
