Cactus Wren and Yellow-rumped (Audubon's) Warbler
Apr 13, 2017 00:13:14 #
I got these shots today at Rock Hound State Park outside Deming, New Mexico. This is a wonderful park to stay in if you are a camper or RVer. The flowers, birds, geology and scenery are just super. I believe the warbler is a Yellow-rumped Warbler but a subspecies also known as an Audubon's Warbler. I also found information about it being a part of an "intergrade zone" which was way above my head when I looked it up. I would appreciate some help in plain english if someone can help me out. The Cactus Wrens are awesome here and very abundant. The nest where I found this guy is only about 30' from our motorhome. It is built in a Prickly Pear Cactus that is about 6' high. They are an entertaining, chattery creature that I enjoy watching.

I forgot to mention the Warbler is perched on a beautiful Ocotillo that is leaving out and has lots of blossoms. They only leave out when enough water is available in the soil.

Really nice images especially the Cactus Wren looking into the nest! I have been chasing a Cactus Wren around my yard but no sign of a nest although he did pick up a mate.
