Backyard Visitors

Northern Cardinal

Green-tailed Towhee

Gila Woodpecker & Neighbor's Cat

Gambel's quail family

Sleepy Orange Butterfly

This was the first cardinal to visit our new platform feeder. Green-tailed Towhees are busy scratching around the backyard like little chickens. Gila woodpecker announces his presence with a call that sounds like a loud squeak toy. The Gambel's quail family drops by occasionally. The youngsters are almost fully grown now. I think this butterfly is a Sleepy Orange even though it wasn't sleepy or very orange.
