And don't we all wish we could find this fellow in our backyard?
The links below will lead you to real photos of some of the birds we have had the pleasure to see in our backyard birding adventure. We have lived in Southern Arizona since late 1998 and just counted our 100th backyard bird on Feb 3, 2001. With some of the exotic species to be found here, surprisingly our hundredth bird was an American Robin.
Some of the birds that commonly visit us are listed: Verdin, Pyrrhuloxia, Northern Cardinal, Northen Mockingbird, Rufous-winged Sparrow, White Crowned Sparrow, Lincoln's Sparrow, Black Throated Sparrow, Brewers Sparrow, Curve-billed Thrasher, House Finch, White-winged Dove, Morning Dove, Lesser Goldfinch, Anna's Hummingbird, Canyon Towhee, House Finch, Coopers Hawk, Harris Hawk, Gila Woodpecker, Cactus Wren, Gambel's Quail, Northern Flicker, Gilded Flicker, Phainopepla, Greater Roadrunner.

I hope you enjoy viewing the pictures as much as we do taking them.
