All of the following photos were taken in Madera Canyon, outside of Green Valley, Arizona.

This is a male Black-headed grosbeak, a visitor to feeders at the B&B and the water seepage I mentioned in a previous post. These birds will be migrating to the Anacortes area in the spring and are frequent visitors to our feeders in Anacortes, WA, during their breeding season.

Another male Painted redstart attracted to the water seepage.

This is a female Wild turkey which was part of a band that crossed the creek just above the B&B. There is apparently a permanent presence of these birds in the area and especially at the motel where bird seed is distributed. These birds are a constant presence below the feeders at the main lodge in the canyon. In this case, I’m not sure the label “Wild turkey” is applicable… “Free-range turkey” might be more accurate!

Another female Acorn woodpecker…

I’ll have at least one more post of birds photographed in Arizona.
