Description
A male Pyrrhuloxia posing on a cholla skeleton, Green Valley AZ.The Pyrrhuloxia also called the desert Cardinal is a year-round resident of desert scrub and mesquite thickets, in the U.S. states of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas and woodland edges in Mexico. It occupies the southwestern half of Texas, approximately the southern third of New Mexico, and the southeastern region of Arizona. One song has a sharp, clear, wha-cheer, wha-cheer while another is characteristic of a metallic "quink." Females also sing, but they use softer and duller notes, either way, a sweet song that is a treat to hear. A short cheep or chip is a regular contact call given by both sexes while foraging.

Wow Bryan, what a cracker of a shot, love the neutral background, it lets the birds colours shine.

Love these birds. When I first so them I thought I only had female redbirds. Looked them up and realized it's a different bird altogether. Great capture. v
