More Desert

The Sonoran Desert is a beautiful place.


An assortment of cacti and other vegetation.  Every saguaro seems to have a bird or two perched on top in the early morning sun.


A closer look at the top of one particular saguaro....yes, a Gilded Flicker pair  (Colaptes chrysoides)


The trail ahead....


More photos to come.
