On the morning of April 24th, we stopped at the nearby Meadow Garden Park in Green Valley. We were just here the evening before, it was so nice it deserved a second visit before we left the area.
1. One of my Arizona lifers below is the Costa's Hummingbird, it has a lovely purple gorget, looking like a necklace on it's neck. The flowers are beautiful, such a wonderful variety of blooms and colors.
2. A larger image of the Costa's Hummingbird.
3. Below the lifers the Abert's Towhee and possibly the Verdin in the top row. In the bottom row I have the Vermilion Flycatcher and the Gila Woodpecker.
4. The Vermilion Flycatcher is a beauty, I was seeing this bird often during our Arizona travels.
5. More beautiful flowers seen in the gardens.
6. I like this poem "HOPE" by Eileen Valentino Flaxman, the words speak to me. The Gambel's Quail perched on the back of the bench, saving you a seat. The Curve-bill Thrasher had a nest nearby, I watched it fly in and out of a bush.
7. Have a seat and enjoy all the flowers and birds in the gardens.
8. Another shot of the Costa's Hummingbird and some more pretty flowers.
