Birds in the desert.

 White Crowned Sparrow.

Welcome to The Round House, Desert Garden, A small cactus garden in the desert at Desert Hot Springs. We have lost count of the number of birds we have seen here over the last few days. Sitting quietly in the garden watching the wild life pass by and hoping to get a photo.



American Tree Sparrow.

Male California Quail.

Humming Birds, we have seen 3 different types,  above a Rufous we think, and below an Anna's Humming Bird, sorry about the focus, they are really difficult to snap.
And the third a Costas Humming Bird.


 Common Ground Dove.

 
Grey Flycatcher

Two shots of a Pine Siskin



 
And two photos of a Curve-Billed Thrasher 


 
To finish off and makes a change from all the birds, this old Jack Rabbit has been in a few wars, he comes for a feed every day around 4pm.
