More shots from Big Bend & Am. SW...

Quick quiz: If this was a wren,
what kind of wren might it be??
Yup. Cactus wren! =)

Fun w/photography at night in a moving vehicle.
Now that I've lightened it up, I now see the video store is "ADULTS ONLY."
Classy. However, the moon was GLORIOUS.

At the Rio Grande in Big Bend NP.
Assuming this is cliff swallow housing.

Why minimalists love the desert:
 Yum.

I assume this is some kinda desert mallow.
It was adjacent to the ol' Rio Grande in Big Bend NP.

Beautiful tree at Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. 

 Shot I took when it was nigh onto night.
Long exposure, rental car holding camera.
But I'm super glad I took these shots,
'cause it was the only time I got to see this super interesting area. 

"Yeah, yeah, I'm gorgeous. I know.
Got anything I can kill?"
 Harris's Hawk.

Gila woodpecker totally ignoring me.
 And looking SO BEAUTIFUL!

 White-winged dove.
 Dig the cheek/neck sheen.

Female cardinal looking SO coy and adorable.

The flirtiest band-tailed pigeon I've ever encountered.

Tippy top of a boojum tree (Fouquieria columnaris), or cirio.


This was all late Feb, early March.
Especially for you folks still in snow,
hope the virtual sunshine helped. =)
