Verdin ~ This view of the Verdin shows the red patch on its wing, as well as his yellow head. He is a very flitty bird, and I was glad to capture him at all.
Verdin ~ This cute little desert dweller, the Verdin, has a yellow head and a dark red patch on his wing. He has a quite loud call for such a small bird. Here, he was picking seeds from these seed pods, and hopping up into a bush to eat them. He was in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
