These intelligent birds were hanging out at the Grand Canyon nature center, where they were almost certainly looking to pick up free snacks.

This bird may not be red, but I think we still have an example juvenile of the Red Crossbill species here!

Not a lot of good photos of this one.

There’s a censored/blurred image joke here with this bird in particular, but I don’t feel like putting it together.

A common, but very fun to watch bird! These pictures are all from Grand Canyon Village!

With its chestnut cap and black eyeliner, the chipping sparrow is looking cute!

The former iconic sparrow of North America.

A crab that looks like it’s trying to hide, though its coloration seems to be working against it. What do you think? Is it hidden from your view?

Nature’s resident(ial) recyclers!

Just one picture, but compared to most one picture birds, this one is really nice!

Though unfortunately, the lighting doesn’t really highlight the iridescent green that they’re known to have. Still, I think it’s a solid shot!

A monarch perched up high and overlooking his kingdom.

Despite being surrounded by sand, this is not a sand crab.

This cousin of the Mourning Dove sports a fashionable accessory!

A tiny, adorable rodent of North America with a distinctive set of stripes! Skilled little scavengers.

Yet another shorebird against the water/sky! Funny how many there are, isn’t it?

You get exactly one guess as to what this creature’s defining feature is.

Not the best photo, but a rather distinct shape, wouldn’t you agree?

Look at this tiny hummingbird in her little teacup nest!!! So cute!

Time to play a game of “really questionable IDs, even for you, Mordio!”

With its bright wings and pattern, it flickers through the air like a dancing flame.

This little butterfly almost looks like a night sky with all of those little speckles of light on its dark wings!

Though green-tinted, this butterfly is a Great White! I wonder if it has a reputation for devouring humans.
