Pyrrhuloxia Painterly - a photo on Flickriver

"Pyrrhuloxia Painterly with ID" by Patti Deters. A brightly colored bird with red and grey feathers is perched atop a rugged piece of cactus deadwood. This small yet striking desert cardinal is a Pyrrhuloxia (cardinalis sinuatis) and is a resident of the mesquite groves Tucson, Arizona. These pretty songbirds are omnivores, meaning they eat insects, seeds, and berries. Pyrrhuloxia look a bit like their cousin, the northern Cardinal; males are grey with lots of red coloring on the tall crest, face, breast, and tail. This particular male bird was was quite skittish and shy, but I was lucky enough that he did stop for a few seconds to look directly at the camera. The word "Pyrrhuloxia" is included with the textured beige background, providing species identification. The same image without ID can be seen at the link below.
