A covey of Gamble’s Quail entertained us at Cave Creek Regional Park. Most days we would count up to twenty-five birds at our site. They are gorgeous birds, fun to watch, and even more fun to photograph.
We saw them at Dead Horse Ranch State Park, but not nearly as many.

What a treat it was to listen, watch and photograph these gorgeous woodpeckers. They were busy building a nest in a Saguaro Cactus in our back “yard”. Go out to this Web-site and listen to their call – Gila
~Cactus Wren, Cave Creek Regional Park, November, 2017
A very curious wren and the largest. There were several that would visit us in our “yard” at Cave Creek, always coming close to the coach and inspecting everything. I just loved watching them.
At least two pair were busy collecting materials for nest building.
Here is a Web-site with some good information on the Cactus Wren: Wren
