Description
"Pyrrhuloxia Desert Scene" by Patti Deters. This striking desert cardinal is known as a Pyrrhuloxia (cardinalis sinuatis) and is a resident of the the southwest desert near Tucson, Arizona. These pretty songbirds are omnivores, meaning they eat insects, seeds, and berries. They rarely drink water as it is so scarce in their desert habitat; instead they get moisture from the juicy insects. Pyrrhuloxia 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 is perched on a piece of deadwood with saguaro cactus, desert scrub, and mountains in the composite background - there is a large group of mesquite trees out of the camera frame where he spends most of his time.

Wonderful desert scene with a great bird included! Their song is much like the Cardinal's as well, very melodious.
