While scanning the Ocotillo branches and blooms I spotted a blue blur as some thing flew away.
within minutes the bird came back and much to my surprise it was a Lazuli Bunting.
Must have been migrating through because I only saw this one.
Want to learn more about this bird just click the above photo.

Back up in the Ocotillo blooms the

My East coast birder friend R.J. writes.
"I think I wrote you a couple years ago that it is a Brewer's Sparrow, which is quite late,
especially out in the desert. Probably a straggler female on her way north to the
Great Basin breeding range. It should be up on the North Rim in the Arizona Strip at least by then.

One other that needs an ID.
Yellow-Rumped Warbler. The yellow patches below his wings give him away, even when you can't see his yellow rump.
