These are some of the beautiful birds we feed, see and enjoy from our back courtyard. T one on the black bird feeder is a "lesser gold finch". The light colored one on the red feeder is a female "hooded oriole" and of course the more colorful acrobatic one is the male.

I thought, perhaps, some of you would be getting tired of all the flora so here is a sample of some of the fauna. The quail are in the hatching mode and the roadrunners are in the hunting mode. Nothing like baby quail for lunch. These quail are a little too big and fast for the roadrunners, but, we haven't seen any babies either.
All part of spring in the desert.
