This is either a Mourning Dove or a softball with feathers and a tail. IDK.

Northern Cardinal

Cardinals are like The Arch of the bird world. "Hey, there's a Cardinal!" (If you are not from St. Louis ask someone from St. Louis about this joke)

Red-winged Blackbird

The wings also have yellow, but not enough for naming rights I guess.

White-Throated Sparrow

Feels like they missed an opportunity to call this the Referee-Headed Sparrow.

Great Horned Owl Fledgling

Proof that even those who grow to be majestic go through an awkward teenage phase.

Vermillion Flycatcher

Looking like a Vermillion bucks.

You can tell it's a Cactus Wren because it is a Wren on a cactus.

I have to admit I didn't realize why Doug Funnie wore a belt on his head to become Quailman until I saw this bird.

Black-throated Sparrow

Sometimes a bird's name is so descriptive nothing else can be said about it.

Virginia's Warbler

Supposedly this is a Virginia's Warbler, but I am skeptical because I found it in Arizona.

Phainopepla means "silky robe" in Greek. This bird is basically always dressed like Bruno Mars.

Gila Woodpecker

description of image — Is it still a woodpecker if it is on a cactus? Wait, are cactuses wood? (I googled it, cactuses have woody ribs. This bird is accurately named. Carry on)

White-winged Dove

Placeholder Stevie Nicks reference. Ooh, baby ooh, said ooh

Fast, gold, hard to catch (on camera); might as well be called the golden snitch.
