Gaze of the Phainopepla
Uploaded 12/29/04
| This
rarely seen black crested bird was photographed down by the river
in Black Canyon City. They are very difficult to approach, and
it was only through a stealthy stalk this image was obtained
with the 400mm lens. These birds eat insects by rivers and mistletoe.
The red eyes are quite piercing, and there is no other bird that
has them that is all black. |
