I'll bore you with pics of our favorite Arizona Birds. We were golfing at Gold Canyon Golf Resort today, and we're on the tee box, which is elevated. As were standing there, this guy peeks his head over.
You gotta love the roadrunner.
and here is Gambel's Quail.
and last but not least, the cactus wren.
That was today, yesterday we went to the Riparian Preserve at Gilbert Water Ranch. A fantastic park, lots of birds, nice trails, restrooms, water fountains. and some warblers. Taking pictures of warblers is probably the hardest shot to get. They're in constant motion, jumping from branch to branch so quick, you immediately lose your focus, lose the bird, you get the point. So I took almost 30 pictures of wilson's warbler and black-throated gray. We get home that night and it's like playing "Where's Waldo.". Tara is leaning over my shoulder, asking where the bird is in 99.9% of the pictures. As follows:
Where's Wilson? Finally, after slogging thru all my pics, one decent one, not great, but decent.
So that's the report from Scottsdale.

Cool photos! Roadrunners seem to be one of those birds that you can't find when you want to. They're neat to observe when you do though.
great pics of the roadrunner and quail!
