From Lofty:
Saw these Little Corellas canoodling, eating and bickering in a city park today. Often they congregate in their thousands on the open grassy areas around dusk but I didn’t have my camera along a few days ago. They are easily spooked into wheeling clouds of screeching featherbrains. These I caught by zooming in from the bike path trying to not make any unusual noise or sudden movements.
They are gorgeous! Click for full size.

This is fun. One of these days, I’ll have to mix up proper paints and all that, try to do it right. (Not that I’ll ever be able to do that.) For now, play is good. Click for full size.

A very young Fox squirrel, willing to scold and fight me over what he felt was his right to the sunseeds on the deck. I was half way out the window taking these, so perhaps not as good as they could be. He was bouncing on the branch, flicking his tail, and going into a repeated “I’ll fight!” stance. Little asshole. 1500 x 996, click for full size.

From Crimson Clupeidae, beautiful desert. In the first shot, you’ll definitely need to click for full size. “Can you find (and identify) the bird here?” (I found the bird right away, and my guess is Roadrunner.)
And a beautiful shot of the sun behind a saguaro.
