Hi All...

Arizona's Saguaro cacti are beginning to bloom and the white winged doves are taking full advantage. Also, I encountered a Kestrel sunning himself.

Thanks, and comments and suggestions welcome.
Tom

Love the #2 and kestrel photos, Tom. Seem like that is a friendly kestrel.

Well done Tom, those Kestrel shots are terrific. I just got back from a week in Arizona but didn't have time to go looking for birds, wouldn't have mattered didn't know where to go anyway. It was warm 102.

Hi Louie...thanks for the comment. You missed the more seasonal weather by just a couple of days. It's been in the high 80's lately.

Nice set Tom, congrats on the cooperative Kestrel.
Are the WWD's getting nectar, or are they eating some of the "meat" of the blooms?

Hi Kirk...

At this stage of the cactus bloom I think they're mostly getting nectar. However, the bright white flower eventually turns into a deep red fruit following its blooming stage, and the WWD's then eat the fruit pulp and seeds.

Thanks
Tom
