Spotted this small sculpture welded to the top of a fence in front of a house in Patagonia, Arizona. In the background is a much larger tree sculpture made from pipe. Click for detail.
This is metal sculpture of a diving Gray Hawk (a hawk species found within the U.S. in small parts of southern Arizona and southern Texas, the northernmost parts of its range). I saw my first ever Gray Hawk in Patagonia many years ago, its a great looking bird.
This bird stands on one leg while watching traffic in front of the Velvet Elvis restaurant in Patagonia, AZ.
This pizza eating dude is located outside the Velvet Elvis restaurant in Patagonia, AZ. If you are in the vicinity, they make some excellent designer pizzas for carnivores and herbivores alike.
These birds were causing a flap under the window of a gallery in Patagonia, AZ recently.
Violet Crowned HummingbirdThere is a house down in Patagonia (an hour & a half drive south of Tucson) that graciously opens their backyard to birders interested in visiting their feeders, asking nothing in return except a donation for the purchase of sugar. I've been visiting their yard for many years, and its a great place to see some of southern Arizona's many species of hummingbirds.
I believe you can find over nine different species of hummingbirds visiting their yard over the course of a year. Several of these species are at the top of their northern range.
These are all snaps taken with my P&S camera during a trip down there on Thursday (taking a quick break from my study/search). I'm quite pleased with how the Violet Crowned picture came out for using such a small camera/lens.
