So lucky! They like to hide. I have yet to capture a photo of one. 😛

I love these little guys. See them all the time around my house. They are quite entertaining. They do all kinds of acrobatics in the branches of our juniper and piñon trees. I could watch them for hours (If they stuck around more than 30 seconds). 😛

A couple of years back I was on another birding website and I found a nesting pair of rufous hummingbirds on my property. I was excited about it and wanted to share. The feedback I got was crushing. I was called a liar and asked to leave. They raked me over the coals. I didn't have a camera at the time and I vowed that I would never be without one again. It was pretty bad. I wonder if those people read that article and thought about my nesting pair of beauties. I hope so. 😛 p.s. I'm in New Mexico

aww so cute. I love Mourning Doves. I have a pair nesting near my house this year. It's been so long since they've been on the property. ❤️

Sounds like a Thrush to me but I'm no expert. Swainson's maybe or a Townsend's Solitaire?

Such a beautiful bird. ❤️

Say's Phoebe maybe?

Prairie Warbler? O.o It's a long shot but orange(ish) on the back and a yellow throat.

Thank you. I'm so excited to be able to get out there again. I've been sick for so long. ❤️

NW New Mexico between Farmington and Shiprock along the San Juan River. Anyone know who these little beauties are?

I live on a mesa overlooking the San Juan river and we have a nesting pair below the house. I hear them all day and all night. Always makes me smile.

Absolutely gorgeous. I'm so jealous. 😠

Congratz and I'm jealous. >=(

When I saw Mexican Sparrow in the title I was fully expecting a Bandolero complete with pistolas a sombrero a very manly mustache while clenching a cigar out of the side of its beak and shouting, "Viva, Mexico!" But I'm a New Mexican so I'm a bit of a romantic. 😛
