I was visited by what appeared to be a hundred or more Pinyon Jays today. They stopped by for some snacks. Some of the ones who visited can be seen in the first photo below. #birds #nature #photography #wildlife

A Chipping Sparrow perched in a Cottonwood tree. I often see them foraging for food among the wild grasses on the ground. At times, they fly up into the trees and sing. They like the aspens, spruces, and fruit trees too. #birds #nature #photography #wildlife

This bird appears to be a Western Wood-Pewee because of having a less noticeable eye ring, yellow on the lower mandible at the base and longer wings. I saw this one hanging out just after a September monsoon rain storm. #birds #nature #photography #wildlife

A Pygmy Nuthatch. I enjoy watching them move around quickly across the branches of Ponderosa Pines trees. They are quite the acrobats. I have seen them hanging upside down off a branch. #birds #nature #photography #wildlife

I came across many Pinyon Jays today in the mountains of northern Arizona. They were searching through the ponderosa pine cones and may have been burying the pine seeds in the ground below the layer of pine needles. I saw them flying between the trees often. #birds #nature #photography #wildlife

I was sitting in a field near a pond before sunset where around 300-500 blackbirds were near the wildflowers. Many of them were Red-winged Blackbirds. There were the Yellow-headed and Brewer's Blackbirds, a single crow and other species. I love September. #birds #nature #photography #wildlife
