A pyrrhuloxia, also known as the desert cardinal, on a snow covered cholla this morning. What a treat to receive half an inch of snow in the Sonoran Desert! Desert Photo Retreat near Tucson, Arizona.

Picky Bear
Believe it or not, this brown bear from my Bear and Whale trip caught, and then immediately released this salmon! When the fishing is really good, the bears become picky and will only keep the females for the row (eggs).
Male Cardinal
A male cardinal. This was from a recent evening at the lower photo blind. I like the red/blue combination.
Female Cardinal

Gilded Flicker
Gilded flicker. We have always had a couple of pairs of gilded flicker nesting in saguaros on the property, but this year they are much more inclined to come into the photo blind / feeder area which is great for photography. In the past, it would be a quick in and out, and a bit tougher to capture an image.
Black-throated Sparrow
For the first time this season I spent some time in the evening photo blind with my camera at the Desert Photo Retreat I love that background! Every year we get more and more birds – sure is fun! Black-throated sparrow.
Bobcat
Bobcat! This was from a few minutes ago. He hung around for a number of hours, mostly sleeping, but sometimes hunting. He was oblivious to my presence, I had to make a little squeak noise to get him to look at me for this photo, otherwise he ignored me and I could come a go at will. This is the third day in a row he has been here. Such a treat!
