Description
"Pyrrhuloxia Painterly" by Patti Deters. A vibrant red and grey bird with a distinctive crest perches atop a weathered piece of cactus deadwood. The background is a swirling mix of light colors, providing a soft contrast to the sharp details of the bird and its perch. This small yet striking desert cardinal is a Pyrrhuloxia (cardinalis sinuatis) and is a resident of the mesquite groves Tucson, Arizona. These pretty songbirds look a bit like their cousin, the northern Cardinal; males are grey with lots of red coloring on the tall crest, face, breast, and tail. This particular male bird was was quite skittish and shy, but I was lucky enough that he did stop for a few seconds to look directly at the camera. The same image with species identification can be seen at the link below. If you like outdoor nature photography, please enjoy more birds and other wildlife images at patti-deters.pixels.com.
