Amazing birds in your yard right now! Other than Yellow-rumped, I don't expect to see any warblers for a while. The Lawrence's flock left while we were gone last week. Hope they're winging their way to CA. Scott's Orioles all over the place. Hooded should be soon. Enjoyed the photos!
I'm watching for Hooded Orioles--saw several in Tucson last week, so they're around! Scott's Orioles are very nutty right now. Today's treat was our first Calliope Hummingbird (species #6) and a nice visit from a male Hepatic Tanager.
No Hooded for us yet, but expecting one any time. Lots of male Scott's, one female. We had our first Calliope's at the same time! #6! Male Hepatics too! Last few days the Painted Redstarts have been teasing us, but one finally came to the fountain today! Tough guys to photograph for sure!

Wow how very wonderful! There is only one bird in your photos here that I have ever seen (the turkey vulture) and two I had never heard of! Cool.
Thanks Karen! We get so many birds that just sneak into southeast Arizona from Mexico...but you have so many that rarely get this far south too...
