There are some amazing birds in this final group of my bird shots of the year. The Acorn Woodpecker was a surprise with so many acorns stuck in its tree that I don't see how it can go hungry all year. I saw the Vermillion Flycatcher in an open municipal park area not more than a half mile from my hotel in Scottsdale. Such a shock to see a brightly colored bird sitting out in the open. Kids were biking by. Parents were walking their dogs and here was this beautiful orange bird with no one paying any mind. The Marbled Godwit is also a fan favorite as is any of the shorebirds as I don't see all that many in the midwest. Enjoy and this was a fun project to put together.
