    Eared Grebe

    Several of these were out trying to make a living but this is the only one I could approach closely enough for an acceptable image.

  2. Barn Owl

    Barn Owl

    I had to come back a second day to get an acceptable photo of this perching male. The first day I found it, sleeping in a recessed area of a tall palm, it had its back to the outside and all I could see was a splash of brown feathers in the drabber surroundings of the palm fronds.

    Little Blue Heron

    This beautiful bird was feeding for quite a long time while I was nearby but I could never get an angle where I had a more photogenic backdrop.

  10. White-crowned Sparrow (I think)

    White-crowned Sparrow (I think)

    I had trouble deciding which species this bird was with upside down feeded pose. I was leaning toward Chipping sparrow but some one more knowledgeable than I thinks White-crowned. In any event, it cared a lot more about getting nectar than about my proximity.

    Western Meadowlark

    These birds are profuse in the reserve but often too far away for a good photo. To paraphrase an old movie, "The hills are alive with the sound of meadowlarks".

    I watched and made images of this young bird for about ten minutes as it oved from a fence line toward me and finally posed at the top of this pole.

    Yellow-rumped Warbler

    Found in the Sweetwater Wildlife Refuge (an ironic name since this series of ponds is a sewage treatment facility) near Tucson.
