I’d like to introduce my neighbor, the desert cardinal, officially Pyrrhuloxia.  Not the most cooperative photo subject.  And when he does look at the camera, I think he isn’t pleased. Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, USA.

Or as I call it – Desert Cardinal.  Here’s the male feeding a baby.  A demanding little guy. Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, USA.

Or desert cardinal, because I can pronounce that.  This is the male – easily identified by so much red on it.  The female is gray. Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, USA.
