Cyndie,
Both are juvenile Western Bluebirds, male and female I think.

I was up climbing at Suicide Rock on Sat. and one of the coolest things about the day was the never ending stream of Anna's hummers coming to the seep at the base of the Weeping Wall, all females. At times there were 5 or 6 waiting for their turn or chasing off others.

Down in southern New Mexico on my way to Juarez to get dental work done, stop at Rattlesnake Springs near Carlsbad and it really lived up to all it's hype, what a beautiful little spot in the desert.
The best spot for Vermilion Flycatcher that I have ever been too, the light was off (drizzle) so sorry about the quality. They really are spectacular little birds.

new camera time, Canon Powershot SX530 HS, a cheapo by the standards here, but a big upgrade for me. I think it's going to keep me happy

this bad boy dropped on something in the roadside grass. What ever it was it was giving its death squeaks. Still a few hours of daylight left. Must have youngsters to feed. Love the way its sunny-side pupil is smaller than the sahdy-side one.

When I walk out to shoot the sunrise over the Sierra Nevada this bird sits there twenty feet away on its "nest" until I try to approach it to shoot its picture, then it's panic city and she flies off. This may prove interesting when the squabs arrive.

we gottem here mike bolte ... from a previous bird thread:
they really are curious cuckoos. boldly charging in demanding answers. this guy had a whole different demeanor,
spent 3-4 days with us, dedicated to the only patch of bare gravel in a sea of snow complete with roost.
they act like flight is a last resort and a running takeoff in powder conditions prolly not happening.
text from previous post:
we had a nice accumulation of wind blown snow here north of flagstaff. the wind scoured to the bare ground
in front of the kitchen window and this road runner took to roosting there. he's been remarkably cooperative.
wish i could find a bug, or get out of the driveway
