I'll have to snap a pic and ask what it is. The deer don't eat it, so it is happy.<br />Love the bird. We have an abundance of grosbeaks this year, Evening and Black Headed, some Western Tanagers, and the LBJ's little brown jobs, siskins, sparrows, wrens and junco's of various (mostly unidentified) types. Oh, and a number of purple finches.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-9572951372186531752010-06-27T21:48:13.889-07:002010-06-27T21:48:13.889-07:00I have to confess that I really like soft colors, ...I have to confess that I really like soft colors, like yours from the high desert.

Consider yourself nagged again....of course it's totally optional!)<br /><br />That bird is really interesting. We don't have anything like that here.<br /><br />Yesterday, a forest service person said "In New England, we have been blessed with abundant water." And I have to agree after seeing your pictures. (Of course, like every blessing, there are downsides....mosquitoes among them! This year is definitely good for biting insects around here!)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your colors, and for going out and about with your camera to capture some special ones!<br /><br />SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-10721230997783876292010-06-27T07:26:16.121-07:002010-06-27T07:26:16.121-07:00Your "world" is so different from mine. ...Your "world" is so different from mine. Fascinating to see.<br /><br />I spent one summer in Southern California for work related training. Despite trips to the beach every weekend, I sorely missed my Great Lakes. <br /><br />Funny how our places get into our blood to become a part of us.<br /><br />Those birds are fascinating. Wonder where the rest of their buddies are this year?Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226371437929271405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-61177333726823493052010-06-26T22:56:38.837-07:002010-06-26T22:56:38.837-07:00Wow!

I've never seen a bird like that - I can't tell from the picture how big he is...but how pretty - sort of like a goldfinch, but BIGGER :-) <br /><br />Loved your BSG posts - T.Tina T-Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13054132355737998706noreply@blogger.com
