But I figured since I'd be guessing with all the others, that one would have felt left out if I gave it the actual name. So, pretty much you didn't help at all, since I already know the prickly pear, too. And it's an Engleman's Prickly Pear, to be exact.<BR/><BR/>As for the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, since I didn't actually see it in your yard, it is not a lifer for me. It would have been, however...had I been there. As for whether or not it was a lifer for you, well, that's between you and your life-list.<BR/><BR/>It IS a way cool bird that I've always wanted to see, though.P.

Im a little rusty. The first one I need to see more of the plant. Can you identify a <BR/>"ruby throughted flying bird thinger" just by looking at the feet?<BR/>The second one I dont know either. I try to look it up. The third one is called a prikly pear cactus! I'd say youre looking at a new shoot or perhaps the beginings of a flower. I recognise the next one but dont remember it. The next is a variety of Barrel cactus. Last one is something in the boxelder family...next to a cow.<BR/><BR/>Hey we saw one of these in our yard the other day...<BR/><BR/>http://www.alanmurphyphotography.com/GalleryImages/Flycatcher/SiccorTail-copy.jpg<BR/><BR/>Is that a lifer?kippurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00302124720508729115noreply@blogger.com
