Pyroluxia (SE Arizona)

This is a rare bird indeed. Rarely found outside southern Arizona. It looks like an
Eastern Cardinal physically, but the coloring is very different.

Eared Grebe (SE Arizona)

This Grebe, not too common in Arizona during summer, is fairly common west of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri. This particular bird had just emerged from a dive for fish, and was trying to dry it's feathers.

Arizona Jay (Arizona)

The Arizona Jay is a southwestern bird, primarily in Arizona and western states. It is a raucus bird, just like all other jays.

Acorn Woodpecker (Arizona)

This bird, very common in Arizona, is not limited to Arizona. It is found just about everywhere. In some areas is it very rare. It's called an 'acorn' woodpecker, because it stores its food by making small holes in trees and telephone poles and stuffing acorns in the holes.
