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.
These are excellent. I like the compositions and the downloads are very good.
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.
