Northern Cardinal ~ This cardinal was photographed in southeastern Arizona last week. He was a beautiful spot of color in a dry desert landscape.
~ Visiting the Cliff Swallow nests again, I enjoyed watching all the daily activities of feeding, nest building, the comings and goings, and, as in this shot, the occasional squabble.
Cliff Swallows at the Sand Bar ~ This shot shows the swallows gathering to get mud for nest-building. They were very busy, dipping into the mud, flapping their wings above their heads. They would get a good beak full of mud and fly off to the nesting site.
