Thank you also for your awesome response to my posting as well, and suggesting we get out to the Saguaro Ntl Forest....we haven't been out there (east or west) in quite a while, and it's a great idea. Mostly we've been just driving unpaved roads with homes spaced far apart just north of us. I love the owl photos! How awesome! We saw one on one of our drives but were unable to get a photo...he was pretty big. I have no idea what kind. And the Cooper's Hawk used to be a common visitor to our yard, and I would often find dead dove feathers and innards, even on the back porch, but they haven't had a kill in a while, even though I do still see them sometimes. They swoop through and I hear the flutter of dozens of pairs of wings as the birds scatter. A couple of weeks ago one was in the tall pine on the edge of my yard, but he kept hopping around with branches in the way and finally flew off. Again, no picture. Beautiful spring photos on this post. We have been thoroughly enjoying the spring, especially the gorgeous cactus blooms right now. Love the sparrow...he's a favorite of mine and one I want to get a better photo of, ever since you ID'd him for me. I also am stalking the vermillion flycatcher at my nephew's school (I posted his picture a month ago, and would love to have more!) Thanks again for always being such an inspiration!
