This is a curve-billed thrasher sampling the flower of a saguaro cactus. I found the fuzzy texture of the buds kind of interesting.

Jean and I went to the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden on Monday morning. A great chance to see some cactus blooms, birds and of course this little guy, which is a round-tailed squirrel. I thought he looked so cute sampling the produce along the trail.

I ordered these last week from Groove's sample sale.
