Great-tailed Grackle (female)

This picture was taken on private property in Queen Creek, Arizona.  It looks like the grackle is on a beach, but it's actually a chlorinated swimming pool with sand "beach" entry.

These pretty birds look so exotic to me. We're used to seeing brownish birds, so while these may be "common" they are kind of exciting to me. This one posed for me at the North Rim area of the Grand Canyon where we stopped on our way to visit my sister and her family in Arizona. -Amy

Gray-headed Dark-eyed Junco

I think juncos are so cute! We saw these little guys hopping all over the place during our visit to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
