Birds of Tucson

While we were in Tucson, I saw 51 different species of birds and 32 of these were new for me.

This is a rufous hummingbird.

There were a lot of curved-billed thrashers around the MVS house. They have a distinct call.

In Madera Canyon, we saw numerous Mexican Jays.

Northern Shoveler

This is a gila woodpecker. We often saw them on a cactus.

This is a female hummer, but I'm not sure which one. We saw Anna's, Costa's, broad-billed, black-chinned, and rufous.

These are black-necked stilts.

I know these pictures aren't professional, but it is enough for me to remember them.
