Beautiful Birds

Here are three of the most beautiful--or handsome--birds here on the grounds at COC. The first is a Cactus Wren, one of the noisiest avian critters in the Southwest deserts.
Another noisy bird is the male Gambel's Quail. When frightened, quail will run at high speed before taking flight.

This is a teenage Roadrunner that was sitting on the trellis in front of the Big House.
