| Curve-billed Thrasher (Ned Harris 4/22/11) |
These birds are foaming at the mouth! Okay, not really, but they are enjoying the beautiful saguaro flowers. The
Cactus wren is a well-adapted desert bird whose song sounds like a motor that won't turn over. The
Gila Woodpecker has a loud (rather annoying, to my ears) call. (Those attempting to steal nectar from my hummingbird feeder would do well not to announce themselves.)
White-winged doves migrate here in time for the saguaro flowers. The
Curve-billed Thrasher's call is a two-syllable whit-wheet.
And
Ned Harris' call sounds like a shutter clicking.
