Wordless Wednesday: Small Bird Amidst the Cacti...

Edit: Martha Z and Larry have very kindly informed that this little bird may very likely be a Black Phoebe, thanks for the ID!



To see more Wordless Wednesday links, please visit here, here, and here.

This week, because it's a bird ;), I also get to participate in World Bird Wednesday here.

Also, Saturday the 21st is the last day to enter my free worldwide art print giveaway! The details are here.

    I think you got a black phoebe, I enjoy watching them hawk insects out of the air.

    Thanks Arija, I love watercolors!

    Thank you Tatyana@MySecretGarden, he definitely didn't seem to have a problem with that :).

    Thanks for the possible ID Martha Z! It would completely explain what he (or she) was doing, he'd swoop and zoom from spot to spot. I took a number of pictures of him, but this was the only one that came out in focus.

    Thanks so much NicoleB!

    Nice shot of the Black Phoebe on the cactus Lisa! They are so much fun to watch as they fly up from their perch to grab an insect out of the air and back to the perch. Very acrobatic!

    Thank you Larry, it really was an unexpected treat, I was going downstairs to photograph some art, so I had my camera with me when I saw the bird. Very energetic little bird indeed!

Thanks for visiting! I'm unable to comment on google+ sites that don't have the blog links, but I do visit. For some reason, even though I've said no to word verification, it still shows here. If you're logged in to Google or OpenID, you should still be able to post by clicking enter without filling in the word verification. I'm sorry about the glitch...
