My favorite is the one of the Acorn Woodpecker.

It's nice to meet you!<br /><br />Diane, I agree. I also like the acorn woodpecker.<br /><br />Ruth, yes you do!<br /><br />bobbie, I think the owl and the heron both look like they are part of what they are perched on!<br /><br />Sweet bay, I am glad you liked so many!<br /><br />Hildred and Charles, welcome to my blog! Thanks for the comment!<br /><br />TSannie, it was a breath-taking moment!<br /><br />Janet, welcome to my blog! It sound like you are an avid birder too! I had never been to Rio Salado before and I have only been to Gilbert Water Ranch once. It's a long way to go up there but I hope to take another trip soon. There are so many good places to Bird in AZ. I could live here the rest of my life and never get to them all! Glad you finally got the teals!<br /><br />Avimor, actually, I was thinking that we shold do this as a percentage of possible birds to be seen in each state at that time of year because I know I have a huge advantage living where I do. The trouble is, I am not a numbers person. Who could figure this out for us? We could take the birds seen from the eBird web site and then average in our totals. What do you think?<br /><br />Its time to live, nice to see you on my blog again. I will shoot you an email later. I just logged off!<br /><br />Gaelyn, come on down! You would be welcome! Perhaps I can finally come up there this summer and go birding with you! So much to do, so little time!<br /><br />Natural moments, yes they do!Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-9791799071401936722010-02-04T11:59:53.171-07:002010-02-04T11:59:53.171-07:00Wow, so many cool birds.

I have fun taking pictures of the little birds that can't stop moving....which dart in all directions at once.

I feel bad for you that you missed the B&W Warbler...I get tired of checking through all the Yellow Rumps too...argh! On the 31st of January I tried one last time to get a Blue-winged Teal (had missed them at Sweetwater & the Gilbert Water Ranch) at the Rio Salado Project...& finally spotted a pair from the 7th ave. bridge looking east...such a happy moment! About a minute later they were startled & flew away with 3 Cinnamon Teal...but it was so cool to be observing the flying birds from above...the powder blue wing patches were so beautiful in flight...I'm going to have to become a photographer to capture some of those images for myself...:)janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01317961148141858783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-72749169972729623412010-02-04T07:55:23.052-07:002010-02-04T07:55:23.052-07:00What incredible photographs!

He has not been successful here but must be eating somewhere as he has not lost weight. <br /><br />Your photos and the one Gus got are just fabulous pictures. It is like looking in a golden pot and seeing your future in little wrapped fortune cookies. You have so many pretty ones to look at that it is hard to decide which one looks the best and fits the best. To me they are all excellent photos and I would be proud to have them in my archives.<br /><br />Thanks for your visits and generous comments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
