Another one from my quick session in the lower blind Saturday night at the Desert Photo Retreat.
Cardinal
Mockingbird Photo
Between guests and other commitments, I haven’t had a chance to pick up a camera for a couple of weeks. Will a last minute cancellation changed that, so I went down to the lower blind for 30 minutes – gosh, it is so fun down there, I’m lucky to have such a place at my finger tips! I so love the background down there, it is just more a matter of what do a want to place in front of it! This is a mockingbird.
20% off beautiful fine art prints!
From now to December 15th we are offering 20% off all our fine art prints at our new website! This even includes metal prints which not only are rich in color, but arrive ready to hang. No need to mat and frame, just hang. And they are extremely durable, you can even wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth if they do get dusty. Plus, there has never been a better year to support the small business / artist, I know it is what we are doing this year. Thanks!
Gilded Flicker
A gilded flicker here last week at the lower blind. We had two pair nest on the property last winter.
Kauai or Katmai?
To me, this looks more like the coast of Kauai then Katmai, well, except for the sow and cubs walking the sandy beach. 
Katmai Coast
That Katmai Coast is Alaska is famous for it’s brown bears, however, the landscape isn’t too shabby either! Last August.
Canyon Towhee
Canyon Towhee coming in for a drink.
Phainopepla
We have always had phainopepla here at the Desert Photo Retreat, in fact last year a pair had a nest near the lower blind. They are a bit tough to photograph since they aren’t drawn to the seed feeders as they are bug eaters. However, they seem to like the water refection table where this one was captured. Today I stopped by the blind without a camera just to see how things are doing and one came in and took a bath!
