I especially love the blue beaks, the male Vermilion Flycatcher and the duckweed.

Nice photos! Those "teenage" Vermilions are always fun to see.

Love these pix and info.

Do you have Pileated Woodpeckers in your area? I get such a thrill when I see or hear them in Wisconsin.

We do not have pileated woodpeckers here. I enjoyed seeing one on a trip to Ohio a few years ago.

Thanks so much for the Yellow-billed Cuckoo shots. I've never seen one and didn't know they came to Tucson. I've got an Evening Grosbeak coming to my front yard feeder here in Ottawa, but haven't got a good shot of it off the feeder yet.

Thanks Ned. That's a tough bird to find and it took a while to even find it in the tree where we saw it fly. Lucky to have one clean window through the canopy to shoot it.
