"Caterpillar Close Up" - I think it's head looks like a jewel, and it's body looks like trouble.

Fragrant blossom opens at night, fades by mid-day. But, watchout, the entire plant is poisonous. These were at about 5000 ft. at Windy Point area along Catalina Highway, Mt. Lemmon. AZ. July 2021.
In New Mexico and Arizona, the brisk song of the Red-faced Warbler is heard in summer, in leafy groves surrounded by conifer forest, high in the mountains. This bird and the Painted Redstart, both Mexican border specialties, are our only warblers that wear bright red.

The Milky Way from San Pedro Vista in the Santa Catalina Mountains. the bright hazy light is Tucson Arizona just around the corner
This is one of several overexposed shots of the RFWA...But, even though at 1/50th sec----EXTREMELY SLOW for bird photography--- the image came out fairly respectable, (after post processing in Photoshop) clarity-wise to go ahead and upload to Flickr
----the premier singing shot
in this fir was simply too blurred to post--- I was totally bummed!!!!!
BUT--I always love getting a shot of a warbler in a conifer---just a 'David" thing---so I am happy to say that I got this beauty in a White Fir---Abies concolor....
Not singing here, but he had just finished singing---
Bird is 27.58 feet from camera.
Enjoy!
I was able to make an unplanned trip up Mt Lemmon this morning. The picnic area at Marshall's Gulch on Mt Lemmon was thick with Red-faced Warblers. They are very jumpy, but eventually they got used to my presence and then came very close.

Kinda reminds me of Easter Island. Some unique hoodoo formations along the drive near Mt. Lemmon, AZ. April 2023
Gene & I decided to head up the mountain on Carr Canyon Road---Most glad that we did as I got my very first photos ever of a Townsend's Warbler. We saw quite a few at a very choice spot along the road that were all in migration, as this bird does not breed in AZ.
Bird is 27.5 feet from the camera.
With this warbler, I now only need Hermit, MacGillivray's, Bay-breasted, Connecticut, and Swainson's to complete my N.A. photo portfolio......well, I'm not going to count Colima, even though I probably should. The walk required to see one in Big Bend N.P. is now beyond my physical abilities. Now that I think about it--gotta include Rufous-capped as well since it does indeed breed in N.A.!!! So--6 more!!
Note: Aug 02, 2016--- Got Swainson's yesterday!!!! 5 to go!!!
Got Connecticut , June 04, 2017 Manitoba---
Got Hermit May 06, 2017 Mt Lemmon, AZ ....
So, 3 to go!!!!
A wonderful morning with the Gallery Gang on Mt Lemmon---except for the ongoing frustration of mottled light and deep shade, resulting in lots of noisy images. Never mind. The reunion of the group was worth it! This Yellow-eyed Junco is banded, though I'm not sure why.
